Peter: How did you go with the move?
Ian: Wasn't fun, I can tell you. Had to get the truck back for a second day
Peter: oh poop
Ian: AND we nearly didn't get anyone to help us. The guy we hired via Airtasker pulled out at the last moment
Peter: If i were closer...
Ian: trust me, you're the first person I'd have called up!
Peter: did you get someone in the end?
Ian: yes, but not via Airtasker. We used a local community group called the Northern Rivers Tradies' Network
Peter: any good?
Ian: the guy or the network? He was a young guy and I think a bit dismayed at the amount of stuff we had to move. But he put his back into it and we paid him extra
Peter: did you manage to get him for both days?
Ian: just the first. Linda and I did it alone on the second day. Talk about back breaking work. We were hobbling around for days afterwards...
Peter: moving's never fun. But you're done now
Ian: thank god
Ian's move was difficult. The guy they'd hired via Airtasker to help resigned at the last moment. Peter was too far to help. In the end, Ian used a man from Northern Rivers Tradies' Network on the first day, and finished the work with Linda alone on the second. It was hard work.
