My goal for this move is to do absolutely nothing. In fact, I want to simply take all my expensive stuff out of the house, the safe, paintings etc, go out of town and have everything packed up at one location and setup at the new location. Any ideas on the best way to do this? Do moving companies generally do both packing and unpacking? Would they even setup all the electronics, tv, stereo etc?
One thought was to hire one of my friends to monitor the packing and unpacking to make sure shit goes in the right spots. At this point in my life, I would pay a premium to deal with as little of it as possible.
Any ideas?
