Help a family move in Pretoria - 4-hour job

Riaan has found a safe new apartment in Pretoria and needs help moving heavy furniture on Friday.

Pretoria
After an unsafe stairwell, I found a safe, affordable apartment in Pretoria, and the lease starts on Friday. I have a teenager and a toddler, a few pieces of furniture and no money for movers. I'm hoping for a few strong people for about six hours. If you have a van or pickup, that would help enormously - I'll cover fuel. The old place is on the second floor and the new place has a ground-floor entrance. We'll do it in two trips. Lunch and cold drinks are on me. I know this is a lot to ask of strangers. I'd be happy to share references from my landlord and my employer. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      thanks for sharing this, Riaan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
