The house next door to us recently became vacant.
It was a rental house, and there was always different people moving in and out of there every other year. We finally had some new neighbors moving in just the other week, after many months of no one living there. When the moving truck pulled up with all their stuff, it was huge! They must have had enough belongings to pack a warehouse! Who knows how they are going to fit all of that in the home they are renting? When the new neighbors arrived, they were unloading this pretty big electric fireplace from a pick up truck. It looked like they were having issues, because the electric fireplace was so darn heavy! I ran over to them, introduced myself and asked if I could be of help in moving this electric fireplace into their new rental home. My new neighbor was very happy for the offer, because him and his 2 sons were really having a rough time moving this thing. With the 4 of us moving this electric fireplace, we figured that it should get into the house safely and in one piece. After about 10 minutes of very hard physical labor, we ended up moving this very heavy electric fireplace into the house. We placed it right by the front window. I told them that once they were all moved in, if they needed help placing the electric fireplace in the spot they wanted to install it at, I would come over and help again.
