Is it difficult to drive a U-Haul truck?

• <div><p>It is not difficult to drive a U-Haul truck or other rental truck, and you don’t need an additional license on top of a standard government-issued driver’s license in most cases. However, those unaccustomed to driving large vehicles may have difficulty adjusting to the maneuverability of a rental truck. Parking can also be more difficult. </p></div>

Q: How do you transport a fully-grown tree?

• <div><p>Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.</p></div>

Q: Should I disassemble my shed before I move it?

• <div><p>Disassembling a shed before you move it could save space and ease the process of loading it onto a moving vehicle. However, you should only disassemble it if it was designed for the possibility of re-building it at your new home. Consult the original process and materials required to build the shed in the first place when considering this option.</p></div>

Q: Can you move a heavy bed frame by yourself?

• <div><p>Just as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/move-couch-by-yourself.htm">moving a couch by yourself</a> isn&rsquo;t always a good idea, moving a heavy bed frame by yourself is not advisable. Doing so puts you at risk of injury, and you can damage the frame if you drop it or bang it while moving it. The best way to move a heavy bed frame is to enlist the help of friends or family or hire professional movers with the experience and equipment to move it safely and efficiently.</p></div>

Q: Can one person move a hot tub?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not possible for a single person to move a hot tub. However, it&rsquo;s possible for a small team of people to move a hot tub with the right skills and equipment. When hiring a moving team for this job, be sure to specify the size and weight of the item to ensure that they send several professionals to take care of the task.</p></div>

Shampoo carpet for pet urine smell. Smell is greatly improved - would probably take two shampoos to remove entirely. Not the fault of the company though. My only beef is that sehyo showed up an hour early and did not move the couch, to get under the couch, as asked.
