Wouldn't an oak mattress be kinda hard for sleeping on?

Re: (OT) tips for moving to keep your movers happy.
It is wise to empty your waterbed beforehand.

Re: (OT) tips for moving to keep your movers happy.
13. Offer Gas money
14. Don't expect them to clean up your messy crap
15. Start to get ready packing **** days before you move. DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.
16. Rent a U-Haul with a lift gate or stong ramp
17. Have a hand truck on site.
18. NEVER MOVE WHILE YOU ARE DRUNK!
19. Organize how you load things in the truck. Nothing worse than disorganization.
20. Um, be sure to pack the love toys and properly secure the box. Better you load that than have someone accidently rip it open.
21. Always plan for the unexpected. If you think you can move in one day, give yourself four.
22. Buy the insurance on the rental moving van or truck.
23. If it can be broken, it will be, so plan accordingly.
24. Always leave someone at the place your moving to. You never know if one of your new neighbors has sticky fingers.
25. CHECK THE SLIDING DOOR. Block it from being opened with a bar.
26. Before you move, HAVE renters or house insurance!!!!!!!!!!!!! And review 24 and 25.

Re: (OT) tips for moving to keep your movers happy.
28. Don't insult your helpers: i.e. "Can't you lift that by yourself?"
29. Empty out your dressers and filing cabinets and pack the contents in boxes. Don't try to move them with stuff in them.
30. Don't buy those converting armchairs that expand into beds. Those things are very heavy and hard to carry up and down stairs.
31. Don't buy those old heavy big-screen TV's that weight a ton.
32. If you have one of those workshop organizer boxes with all the little pLastic drawers full of screws and little parts, secure the drawers shut with tape.
33. Don't have little dogs or little kids running about when you're carrying heavy objects.
34. Make sure you have the keys to the garage, storage shed, etc BEFORE you get there.
