Need 2 Strong Men with a Dolly

Description
I need 2 strong men with a dolly and experience in putting furniture together, for as soon as possible. Tonight, Monday, April 19th would be awesome because today is my day/night off from work. I have some flexibility tomorrow, Tuesday, April 20th as well. I had a sofa delivered this morning from Walmart and there was only one guy, which is ridiculous. It's a 3 cushion sofa with built in recliners. I live in a studio apartment, and my entrance is located in the back of the house. It is a private house with an attached studio apartment, with a separate entrance. As mentioned, my private entrance is located in the back of the house, and the path to get to my entrance is dirt with stone patches and concrete squares, that's the bad news. The good news is that the delivery person brought it up my steep driveway and placed it behind the gate at the beginning of the path to the backyard. Even more good news is that the entrance to my apartment is large, sliding patio doors. Nice and wide! When I moved here, it was a pain for the movers, but it was definitely doable. My movers were great and never complained. I gave them an extra nice tip. Last Thursday, I paid my landlady’s two gardeners to move my old sofa, which was very heavy because it was a sofa bed, not only to the front of the house, but all the way down our steep driveway for junk pickup, but they did it without a dolly! They loaded it onto the back of their truck and drove it down to the street. Those two guys were amazing. One of the guys was younger, but the other guy was much older. I was concerned about the older guy. I offered and they accepted, it was totally their choice. I paid them both $20 each. I know my landlady often pays them to move pieces of furniture down to the street for pickup. I asked her how much she pays them and her answer was $5.00 to $10.00 each. I'm so glad I paid them $20 each!!! Through Walmart handyman services, they definitely charged me too much considering the size and shape of the box my new sofa came in. It looks like a fully put together sofa from the box. You will see by the photos. I can't imagine much needed to be done. Since it is stuck in front of the house, and they scheduled the handyman service for this Friday at 5 pm. Their handyman service includes only one person, so they won’t be able to put it together in my apartment. It’s crazy that they had one delivery person for a sofa delivery, and then only one person to put it together. I would prefer not to have it sit outside, out front for four days.D THEREFORE, I AM SEEKING TWO STRONG MEN WITH A DOLLY TO MOVE MY SOFA INSIDE MY APARTMENT VIA MY BACKYARD ENTERANCE, AND THEN PUT TOGETTHER MY NEW SOFA. I am cancelling the handyman service through Walmart. I will pay $80. $40 each man.
