I need laborers

I am moving in a couple weeks, just a local move about 10 miles from where I am now. Professionial movers want just under 2500 for the move, just moving stuff, not packing. So I thought I would move myself since you can rent a U-Haul trailer for 30 bucks a day. For some of the big items I will need help, this is where the laborers will come in. Does anyone know where I can hire two or three people for a couple days? Is this what Manpower does? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Oops, excuse me!
Have to be sooooo careful that some politically correct 'person' does not end up with hurt feelings. But on second thoughts, who cares?

You need pizza, beer and friends. All three can be bought unless you're moving. That's when you find out how hard friends are to find. Go with the college kids, they usually need the work.

Sad to say, but I really don'y have any friends around here. Most of them are still in Wv, (where i'm from), Nc, and Oh. I travel 50 percent of the time, so when i'm home, I usually just stay home. I may put an ad on Craigslist or something to snag some college students.

Keep the ideas coming fella's!

Thanks!

Sounds like a good time to have a DTR Chapter get together. "Hey, while you guys are here....)
