Why am I up this early.

So I took a look at the statistics on this sofa that's supposed to be here soon.
Max. length: 111 & 3/4".
Care to guess how many inches are going to be hanging into a doorway? if you guessed 'about 1/10th its length', you're right! Care to guess how high the ceilings are? yep, there's a ton of this beast that wouldn't fit if you tried to stand it up on end. Did I mention that if you come in the front door you have to pretty much hang a right /into/ the apartment at 90 degrees-- then hang another 90-degree right turn once you're inside to get into the hall to the livingroom.

Height: 35"
Care to guess how wide any door in the apartment is?
Care to guess how wide the bookshelf with 1/3rd my books on it, which is in the way, is?

It's a good thing I got a lot of cash to tip these guys.

Current Mood: cynical
Current Music: Opening credits, Gohattou score (comp. Sakamoto)

reminds me of helping out an old friend of Stacey's when I moved out here. We actually contemplated rigging up a pully and hauling a four seater couch up the outside of his building and through his window. Riiiight, smart idea.

Good Luck :)

Your average mover is so hopped up on uppers that he can bend spacetime itself, easily making your sofa fit (and hopefully without summoning non-Euclidian horrors from the starry deep).

      And they got the whole damned thing in with roughly, oh, 1/2 hour's effort.
      
      And about 1.5 hours later I had it assembled, and slipcovered, and.

        This would've been easier with somebody else around.

Reminds me of putting my futon together, and waking up the next day wondering where the bruises on my upper arms had come from.
