Been trying tonight to wrestle my friend's wardrobe down the stairs. Friggin' impossible. They got it up there ok, she kept saying, so it must come down. Then, after an hour, she remembered it was a flat pack that was built in the room. Stupid cow!

This has happened to me a few times when moving house. I remember helping my father in law down the stairs with a wardrobe and it wouldn't fit.

He just kept saying it went up ok. I looked it over and noticed it was fixed together like a flat pack but he insisted it was a solid wardrobe and not a flat pack. I offered to take it apart but he wouldn't let me saying i would ruin it if i did. After another hour of sweating and swearing, he gave up and asked me to dismantle it. doh!

 

Mind you, my mum had a new bathroom fitted years ago and the fitter removed the old cast iron bath and there is no way it would go down the stairs whichever way you tried so it had to be cut in half upstairs in the bathroom and taken down in halves.

Still don't know how they got it in when the bathroom was first installed?

I used to live in a house with a spiral stair case, when the new wardrobe was delivered they insisted on winching it up over the balcony, 3 men with ropes and blankets. When I moved out I took it down the stairs with my dad and a couple of bruised knuckles.

Cast iron baths. There was a thing a while back with people fitting them into their bathrooms for a bit of a period feel. Didn't take into account just how heavy they are when filled with water. Joists on some modern houses just not up to the job

when i got my first place (1st floor maisonette) i was skint so bought a 3 piece suite from one of those charity furniture shops. A couple of elderly chaps arrived to deliver it and it wouldn't go through the door. They ended up pulling it up onto the balcony between them using ropes while i made them a cup of tea.

I know it's mean and i did feel bad but i wanted to get the most out of my £5 delivery charge
