Picking up where I left off and overhead pressing a couch!
My day started off pretty normal. I helped customers with grills, patio furniture, and even two playset slides. Nothing crazy. Unfortunately, my wife quickly shut down my suggestion to attach one of the slides to the side of our deck. I really thought that idea had some potential.
Then my day took quite the turn.
I helped someone move a couch from their home to their neighbor's. I don't help with moves, and this wasn't for Heaps & Bounds, Bits & Pieces, but I thought it was too good not to share after the homeowner sent me these pictures.
The neighbor's home was right next door and up one flight of stairs. The problem was that the couch didn't fit through the door. While I'm sure we eventually could have squeezed it through the door, I figured we could use the quicker way. As I said multiple times throughout the process, I wasn't losing to a couch.
The plan was for me and the gentleman helping me to place one end of the couch on the balcony railing and having him lower it to me at the deck below. He lowered the couch, I caught it and carried it over to the steps, and he walked around from the other side of the building to help me carry it back inside. Believe it or not, that ended up being much easier than fighting with the doorway.
My favorite part was the neighbor below. She happened to look out her window while I was standing on her deck waiting to catch a couch. The look on her face as we walked by with it afterward was the perfect summary of what just happened.
All in all, a pretty eventful day. A few removals, a rejected playground expansion project at my house (permits are so tough to get approval for these days), and putting a couch in its place both literally and figuratively.
If you have furniture you're looking to get rid of (or apparently moved to your neighbor's house), I'm always happy to help and I will get the job done one way or another.
