Nick, David and Gosia spent this afternoon helping Mr A in moving an old sofa bed 🛋 and a sink to a bin shed 🚮.

We started of with Gosia being a bit lost 😆 about where Mr A's property is 🗺😵‍💫. We quickly figured out where the confusion comes from, Gosia run to the meeting place and we were all ready to give a buzz to the apartament at around 2:10 pm.

We followed the GG's introductions on getting to the flat and quickly met Mr A, who was waiting for us outside. Both items were already moved close to the front door 🚪 to make it easier for us to pick them up.

We have started with the sofa bed as (surprisingly 🎁!) it was less heavy than the SINK (it deserves to be written in capitals and bolded out to reflect its weight). Initially, the sofa bed task was handled between Nick and Gosia, then Gosia smoothly handed over to David half way 😅 .

It turned out that the bin shed was not open as expected so Mr A said he will give a property manager a call 🤙 to clarify that. While he was doing that, we temporarily put the sofa outside leaning on the wall and came back upstairs for the sink.

Now all heavy lifting 💪 here was done by a dream David and Nick's duet while Gosia helped to clear the way and pushed the right buttons ⏫️⏬️ in the lift. This piece of art was really heavy so boys did make a quick stop ☕️ before reaching its resting place 🙏. Eventually, it turned out that the bin shed won't get open and we need to leave the sink just as we left the sofa bed. It will be moved inside once the shed is open.

Mr A was very grateful for help and also interested in what GoodGym does. David did a little pitch for us, telling a bit more about the GG history and types of work we could help out with 🔧🔨💡. We left the property around 2:40 pm fully accomplishing the work and wishing Mr A a Merry Christmas and a great day ☀️.
