Congratulations! Especially with that tight staircase. Personally, I think Owen’s lucky he only got stepped on once. That’s a big mattress!
I couldn’t move my fingers for the rest of the night — they were so cramped from lifting that stupid thing. Who puts stairs UP right before the basement?
Yay for super dinky girl!!! 😀
You’z awesome. 🙂
Adam
Gee, thanks. 🙂
You’re welcome, pocket Mel! 😉

Just couldn’t wait could you. OH and what about the box spring or thing you have to put it on. Things that don’t bend just can’t make a turn at the bottom of the stairs.
I told you three weeks ago that it doesn’t have a box spring — just wooden slats that rest across the frame.
PIVOT! Totally had that going on in the stairwell. 😉
Love that basement rug. Well done, hoo!
I cannot BELIEVE I missed the opportunity to use PIVOT! What was I thinking? AND, it would have been much more enjoyable if I could have been yelling that the entire time I was trying to maneuver it around that corner. Man!
WOW! You go girl!! That’s impressive ;o) That’s very intimidating to say the least! Hope the moving in is going well.
Erica, it’s coming along slowly. I can’t really unpack until I have my dresser set up, and I can’t get that on my own. At least not without breaking it, lol.
Oh man! Mattresses are SO heavy, it’s insane! They’re dead weight, I swear, they’re awful.
Congratulations on getting it down there!
Natasha, I was surprised at how easily it moved. It already had plastic around it so it slid on that — the trickiest part was keeping it vertical.
LOL – I was thinking the same thing as Janna – Pivot!
I’m impressed you did that all by yourself!! Seems like a big task1!
PIVOT!
I’m so bummed I didn’t think of that. It could have been the title…
Wow, I am not surprised. But then again I showed up once to help you move and when I got there you were mostly moved out and not a moment was spared in finishing the job. You never were one to wait around to have something done by someone else.
I guess I got used to your go get’em spirit then, all the other moves you did seemed to make since to me.
But I would have guessed you stepped on Owen more than once.
Penguin, that’s a good point. I look at it that I’m impatient, but when you combine that with an ability to actually do it, I see no need to wait. 🙂
Geez, Melanie! I popped 3 disks just looking at those pictures. I’m with Owen. Arf! Arf! Arf!
LOL, Robin! He was NOT happy with me, then once I stepped on him he was afraid to come near me. A treat solved that.
This was a great post! “The journey of a mattress.” I hate moving furniture downstairs!! I fall on my stairs too often. (The carpeted edge sticks out further than the step.) <— that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!
I lived in a place with stairs like that. I was constantly falling on my butt.
Welcome back!
