Moving one giant (ancient) item
admin January 31st, 2008
Turned out to be disastrous!
Firstly, me, my brother were on one end of this huge wardrobe and my dad on the other end. Because there wasn’t anything to hold onto, there wasn’t any grip for the both of us, so this light but big task became quite hard, to say the least.
During the move downstairs, dad kept complaining that Brandon and I were pretty bad removalists. I mean, duh, we’ve never really moved anything before, it’s only natural. But shut up, y’know? It wouldn’t make things any easier.
So we almost reached the bottom of the stairs but as our stairway is an enclosed area, it made it all the much harder, even when it is wider than the average. His instructions were starting to confuse the shit out of not only Brandon, but me also. He kept telling us to move up a few steps, direct the wardrobe to the right side, then go downstairs. “The wardrobe is on the right side, maxed, can’t go any further!” So he sighed, told my mum to hold the other end while he went upstairs to try for himself. Still didn’t work.
Being a stubborn one, he tried again, telling us to go halfway up the stairs, flipping it around to make the wardrobe fit. We went downstairs. Ohhh, just a bit more.
And again.
And again.
And again…
Tired, sweaty (it was one HOT day!!! Come on, our shirts were practically see-through), and hurting (no grip-ness, scrapings and other accidents), we had to move the whole wardrobe upstairs again, settle it. What happens next? Dad hammered it open. Smashed it to pieces.
Goodbye ancient thing.
Finally (We all told him to throw it out before, but he wouldn’t listen. Look at it now!)
All that effort for nothing.
Oh, actually, we did get something from dad… A remark: “You guys are seriously useless in moving stuff. When we’re moving, you both move as many boxes as possible because you definitely not experienced in moving furniture.”
So there you have it, our first attempt in moving one piece of furniture out of the house.

It’s gonna be awesome on Saturday.
Just awesome.
