Removal job from Miles to Inala
Our depot is located on the north side of Brisbane, and we had to drive the removal truck to Miles to start the job. A distance of some 336 kilometres, just to get started.
We headed out of our removal depot in Brisbane at about 11:00 pm and arrived at the United Petroleum Miles Roadhouse around 4:00 am the next morning. The temperature was freezing as usual, but we got one and a half hours kip time before breakfast.
As promised, we arrived outside the house at 7:00 am. The owner and her trusty border collie met us, and we got straight to work. My offsiders, Tim and Brenden were with me as usual.
Access to the home was via the front stairs as this would make the loading easiest. Loading the furniture took until around 11:40 am.
Once I was satisfied the men and I had packed all furniture safe and securely we were ready to rock on to the highway for the trip to Inala.
The trip was smooth and uneventful, so we stopped at the bottom of the Toowoomba range for some just bearable lunch.
Good cooks seem to be as rare as hen’s teeth in some of the eateries we stop at from time to time.
By 6:00 pm we arrived outside the house in Inala to unload. Unloading was a bit difficult because we had to get around high fences and ground that was not landscaped properly. Extra care was needed to ensure none of the furniture items were damaged in any way. There were lots of whitegoods, furniture, and boxes, and with some rickety front steps we had to be careful we didn’t injure ourselves or damage the furniture.
At 8:00 pm we had clocked up 13.5 hours work but had finished the removal to the satisfaction of the owner. We were glad to be heading home to a hot meal and a very hot shower.
