So. Today Katie and I decided to remove the couch that was in one of our rooms
You would think this would be simple, seeing as there is a door not a foot from where the couch was.
However, this door has not been used in many years and was covered in plastic. Step number 1. Remove plastic. This involved Katie and Zoe tramping into the Uncharted Wilderness behind the house to get to the door from the outside. This was scary as there are snakes and spiders (some of which are most definitely poisonous.) But they survived and killeded all the plastic. Then we tried to open the door.
... They've laid carpet and a half-inch of fabric down since the last time the door was open.
So, then we take the bloody door off the hinges. Not as difficult as you might think, even with creepy crawling bugs on the outside of the door. We set it aside, carefully.
Then, we try to get the couch out the door. No Go. It has feet and the door DOES NOT LIKE THIS. Aileen goes ... "The feet come off." We try to unscrew them. They need a.. fuck I don't know what it's called, the square thingie.
We have tools in this house, swear we do. But could we find a square thingie in the entirety of this house? No. So we call macho military man (Aileen's loser husband Francisco), and he finds his screwdriver bit set set. First one doesn't have a buggering thingie. So then he finds another one. Finally, success. But this has 3 different sizes! We have to try two before we get one that's the right fit. And THEN after they get the feet off, the couch still has to RAPE the doorway to get out the door.
