you didn't remember right away that you had had the exact job in question for an entire summer before you posted?

Nope.   :frown:

well.  i think that solves the question about what four year old rick daris did or did not eat.

I used to deliver furniture. It was barely above minimum wage. We used to get a $20 or so regularly. Then the furniture store started charging delivery fees. The tips stopped.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Where is a good spot to purchase a washer/dryer? I don't need anything fancy, just like wash normal clothes and dry them. Would like to stay under $1k for the pair.

Also should I tip the delivery person (people?) that eventually put this thing in the mansion?

We just bought ours off craigslist. Lots of good deals on there if you don't get murdered.

Our guy is. We're paying a little extra for him to do so.

I don't know anybody who's ever done that, but I guess that's a risk i'm willing to take.

How much did you pay for delivery/setup?

i paid $159 for what pottery barn called "delivery/processing" and assumed that the 3 dudes didn't get paid for dragging it up 3 floors and putting together the bed.  it prob took them 25 minutes.  i gave them each a cold bottled water and $40 to split between themselves.

For $159 they should have done a few loads of laundry for you.

i'm not sure why they would do my laundry.  for $159 they delivered and set up a bed for me.  big pieces of furniture cost money to ship, it's not free.
