They seemed quite .. happy.

I’d probably do the same. A wall of books is heavy, and the amount of crap in the garage is off the chain.

Can’t imagine doing less for those guys. Good, honest hard work.

That's kind of how we felt. The guy said "we'll be there at 8am." My wife got a call or text at 725 that said "we're on the way" and they showed up at exactly 8am.

As far as we can tell, they didn't break anything or treat anything poorly. They did a good job. My wife originally said "what do you think, $80 for the head guy and $60 each for the other two?" I suggested that if they do the refrigerator juggling that we wanted them to do without any complaints or eye rolling and didn't break anything or beat any walls up that I'd be happy to tip $100 each. (it's not like the head guy is actually working harder than the other two).
