Last Night we went shopping for anew couch. After a couple of stores we bought one "the one!" by Cathy's judgment and two matching chairs. After paying for them we were leaving the store when,,,,,
Dayum, she saw another one.
S o suggested we buy it instead but her idea was to put the other one in the lower level media room with those chairs and put the second one in the living room.
All we had to do before Sunday delivery is remove the old furniture.
I had forgotten how heavy the Sleeper couch was that we put in the loser level media room 25 years ago. The love seat had swing out footrests and was about as heavy as the couch. And both somewhat exceeded the width of the stairway.
I removed the railings to give us more access and space.
I rigged a 1X6 slide board to help get over the treads but, it still took four of us to maneuver the love seat up the stairs. The sleeper couch was not only bigger but far heavier. So I had to remove the mattress and spring base.
It is now 6:30 PM and I am bushed. We still have to remove the loveseat and couch from the living room. All the old stuff will go over to Dad's old house. Whomever flips that wreck will have to deal with the furniture. pensive and well built they were formal overstuffed designs from the early 80's. Extra Heavy, bulky and now thread bare. Not worth giving to Goodwill.
I swear, they were much lighter when Cathy and I carried them in 25 years ago
Time for order in Pizza and a beer.
