Merging two households is a pain in the back. Very litterally. Sweetie and I are still working on getting all of our furninture either stored in the garage or integrated into the apartment. Today we finally finished getting the beds all situated. This is more complicated than it sounds.
You see for the last few months we've been sleeping on a pile of mattresses and box springs that reached just over waiste high and wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world. This weekend we decided that we'd had enough and took one of the mattresses and box springs out to the garage. This is not as easy as you might think. You see we have spiral stairs to navigate, and heavy queen sized mattress don't like to bend that much. So we had to dimantal part of the stairs to make a way big enough for the bed. Then lower it carefully down to the ground and take it out the long road to the garage.
Once in the garage, we had to figure out how to get it up to the rafters. We bought a pully and some plyboard and rope and planned to hang it from the rafters, but that didn't fly. We couldn't even get it off the ground. Then one of our neighbors came by and offered to help. He insted that we coud get it up into the rafters with little problem, and proved it to us. He climed up there and we passed the mattress and boxspring up one at a time. So now they are up there, safely stored until we decide to move, and we have a comfortable, normal hight bed in the bed room.
Now we just need to find room for all the book cases.
