Hotter months for moving?

I recall from growing up in Chicago, that in January or the other colder months, people would leave their furniture outside for a couple of days during a deep freeze to kill all the cockroaches and eggs, etc. Then take it back inside to be a little less buggy.

Kramer’s watching an armoire on the street for Elaine when two “street toughs” decide they want to take it. Later, Kramer spots them and Jerry talks Kramer into confronting them.

Very true! They're moving because of the deliberate actions of the governor and the mayor who desperately want to blame their grievous mistakes and their deadly tyranny on The Virus rather than where it belongs -- directly and solely on them!

This “stooping” thing is far more efficient than donating to the Salvation Army...it’s amazing how quickly stuff disappears when left on the sidewalk.

Unfortunately a lot of stuff is cheaply made from man-made materials, despite being advertised as "solid wood". Paper veneers over particle-board. I've picked up free furniture on the sidewalk and carted it home on my truck, only if it's solid hardwoods. Carpentry is a hobby of mine, and the hardwoods can live another day when repurposed as new furniture. A son-in-law is also an avid collector of items tossed onto the sidewalk or front yards as "free", or given away. He filled my daughter's home with classy furniture gotten cheap. For instance, vintage chairs worth thousands each for a few bucks, also coffee tables, and antiques for nothing. Much better than buying Ikea junk.

Not in Manhattan...they are very picky about what they will take so you are better off carting stuff to a local thrift shop or leaving it on the curb. Items on the curb go quickly!

I can’t stand seeing someone’s trash with the sign “Free” on it.

This is new here in my area, it’s just a sign that this nation is going 3rd world. People have no dignity or respect.
