Ray's move out of Gilesgate took William just over an hour to load, two bedrooms, a kitchen's worth of items, and a double mattress all packed into the Transit. The items had already been moved into the courtyard, which meant no stair carries and a smooth pickup. A quick 15-minute drive brought everything to Brandon, and Ray left a 5-star review once unpacked.
