So basically in order to compete you've got to break the law. Good to know!

well if you're going to play on those rules, then paying your kids an allowance for cleaning their room would constitute breaking the law as you would be employing a minor?

Did your kid pay taxes on that "paycheck" he got for cleaning his room?

Yeah um, I wouldn't pay just anyone off the street to move furniture & boxes, for one you don't know how honest they are and two I'd prefer someone who has experience moving and not breaking things.

Just go to a moving company like united or mayflower.

Moderator cut: see comment We are either part of the solution or part of the problem. I choose the latter. Good luck to the OP in getting someone to help them. I'd help you myself if I was your neighbor so we could avoid this mess. Good luck.
