Ok. I do this for a living. I'm an "Overpaid Bekins Man" as we call it in the business (and when I say the business I mean the Industry).

Moving furniture is a big deal in Hollywood. I've moved a Grand Piano up into the Griffith Observatory (that was rough). And completely decorated warehouses, auto repair shops, stadiums, Boulevards, penthouses, etc. In other words, I've moved a lot of heavy shyte and a lot of expensive shyte.

We're talking from the street lights, to the mailboxes, trash cans, litter leaves, (Hell, I've even had to collect dead bugs to put into a porch lamp globe). But hey, I can't quit show business.

Good on you for the tip. If they can get your stuff in place, in great condition with a good attitude it's worth it.

And in parting, a joke in the biz:

Q: What's the difference between a Grip and a Set Dresser?

A: A Set Dresser takes the dishes out of the sink before he pisses in it.
