Hi I was giving a beautiful sofa today and was gonna use it in the only space available which is an empty upstairs bedroom the only problem is it wont fit threw the hallway vertically and theirs a wall in the way of the door entranceso the only option i have is to try to get it threw the window in the room which both panes open inward so theirs more than enough space, the problem is how would i go about doing this?i'm thinking there is more than enough space to put a few ladders to the window with rope on the top tied down so it doesnt slip back wrapping the sofa in pad liners tieing rope around it and halling it upIs there an easier way to do this task without hiring someone to do it for me for $300? thanksbtw its on the backyard side of the house so i cant hire someone with a crane
Wow. That's all I can say is, wow... I read this very slooowly (yes, even the first time through!) to savor each word and to let the images blossom, because I was already hooked after the first few sentences and felt it would be deserving. I was not disappointed. The poignancy was palpable, the emotions vivid. You have stirred the dust from faded recollections discarded a lifetime ago. Ghosts long forgotten blinked in the dark, at the edges of my mind. Not sure I wanted to welcome everything that you reminded my heart, but by the ending there were hot tears stinging my eyes anyway. This is a GEM and definitely worthy of publishing! I say go for it sis ? EDIT: I found I had to go have a look at your original version too, y'know. It truly was like a raw rock before it's been cut and polished to its potential beauty! Night and day. That is why we write and rewrite from rough draft until we get it just right. I see nothing lost, but now it glitters and shines like a jewel. (Hint for others: click on avatar; click on questions; find original story draft.)
Get two ladders that are exactly the same, set them up with their tops just at the bottom of the window. (The longer these ladders are, within reason, the easier this will be.) Make sure their bases are stable and will not move. Before wrapping the sofa for its trip up the ladder, securely fasten two 2 x 4's- 8' long to what will be the bottom end of the sofa when it will go sliding up the ladders at the end of your rope. It would be best to keep your two friends that will be helping, off the ladders used to slide the sofa up. Therefore have two more ladders, one set on each side of the sofa slide, for the help. When the sofa reaches the window, gently lift the sofa over the window sill. At that point your friends that have been helping you pull the sofa up the ladders should go downstairs and start up the ladders and push up on the 2 x 4's as you continue to pull the sofa into the room. You will need three friends, two of them should be fairly strong, to complete the work. The third one should be used to film the process. The sale of the film may result in some rewards for you friends and pay for the ladder rental. I'll lmao when I see you on AFV.
the safest way is to ask a professional. Explain first and if you can show a picture(s) of the side of the house and the yard. I do not think there is an easy way out of this. There are small cranes that totally collapse. Examine the sofa for removable parts. legs, ends, back careful not to damage it. You might call or visit the store where it was purchased and ask for advice. good luck. the traditional way to lift a piano to a second story is to mount a block and tackle on the roof (if the roof is flat)
