What This Move Involved: Relocation from Long Lake to Russell Lake West
This move involved helping a young professional relocate from a quiet rental near Long Lake Provincial Park to a modern condo in Russell Lake West, closer to Dartmouth Crossing. With a new job starting immediately, timing, cleanliness, and equipment safety were top priorities.
The most critical items were dual computer monitors and a custom-built PC tower used daily for work. These electronics required vibration control, padded protection, and stable transport. The pickup location also featured a steep driveway with limited truck maneuvering space, requiring careful access planning before loading began.
Careful preparation, controlled movement, and on-site workstation reassembly ensured the move finished smoothly and allowed the client to step directly into a ready-to-use home office.
Steep Driveway Access
Anti-slip mats and controlled loading techniques were used to safely manage the steep driveway at the Long Lake pickup location.
Fragile Workstation Equipment
Dual monitors and a custom-built PC tower were padded, crated, and positioned to prevent vibration or impact.
Heavy Ergonomic Desk
The desk was carefully rolled through a narrow mudroom without dismantling, using precise alignment and floor protection.
