Pay = $20/hr (+ a flat $10 if you drive yourself). It should take 2-3 hrs, including travel time. If we somehow get this done in less time, you'll still get paid for 2 hrs. If we wrap up @ 2.5-3 hour mark, you'll get paid for 3 hrs. If it goes longer, that's my budget & you're free to go 😂 7/

We need someone who's comfortable wearing a mask while on the road (if you ride with me) and while getting the totes onto the handcarts indoors, but I'm open to people not masking when we're working outside loading and unloading the truck. 6/

I'll have a U-Haul for this trip. If you ride w/me we'll go together from the store to the pickup site & from there to our storage space. I can offer an extra $10 if you'd rather drive your own vehicle & meet @ the space (the extra $ is to cover the drive + street parking at our storage space) 5/

Overflow will go to the store. Handcarts are available at both storage spaces & we have one large dolly at the store. No stairs are involved. Pickup time is noon *sharp* so if you ride w/me I'll want to leave the store by 11:30. Pls don't apply if you can't make it within about 5 min of that time 4/

We'll be moving the totes in the 2nd picture. They'll each weigh between 35-60 pounds, so please bear that in mind. We're picking them up from a storage space in Southgate and moving them to our storage space (in Detroit). 3/

TL;DR - If you're free from 11:30a-2:30p on Monday, Feb. 24 and you're able to carry large totes filled with books, then we need you! Pay is $20/hr + $10 if you drive yourself. Please DM if interested.

Please DM if you're interested. I'll let people know by Friday PM. Thank you!

...I believe they have at least one Detroit-based event in Mar.
Hopefully this post finds you! And of course anyone else is also welcome to check them out 🙂

*Someone patched the supply line w one of those clamps some time in the past & the patch failed. Luckily I was here working when it blew. Even luckier: the shutoff valve was BELOW the blown portion.
The cats weren't anywhere near the restroom but they still RAN as fast & as far as they could XD

Leaving messages for Gary Peters and Shri Thanedar every d*mn day telling them to step up and stop being so useless is kind of fun, actually
We can ALL have fun with our politicians!

We STILL have ~50 (down from >200!!) cases & bins of books on the floor, I have some furniture to build, & I need to replace our light bulbs, add signage, clear my desk area, and so much more. The store still isn't quite where I want it. But I can see the endpoint from here.
it only took 5 years 😅
