There is nothing more spectacular than the Smoky Mountains in the fall. The colors are breath-taking, so naturally we have a lot of company during October. In order to accommodate more people, we decided to buy another sofa bed. We have one downstairs in the sitting room, but we decided to move it to the game room (since it's shorter and will fit in the narrow space we have) and put the new, larger one in the sitting room. So we bought the sofa, hauled it up the mountain and called some big, strong, young fellows to come help us move it. There was only one problem - in order to move either sofa to their proper location, they have to be turned up on end to get through the doors and go across a hallway. The hallway between the two rooms has a very low ceiling of 83 1/2" and the 85" and 87" sofas are not gonna go through that hallway! So what are we gonna do?
Time for Plan B! First, you call more big, young, strong guys. Second, you go get ropes and tarps because the new plan is to take the old sofa out on the 30' high deck and lower it down to the ground and take it around to the game room from the outside. And then get the new sofa off the trailer, carry it around to the back and hoist it UP to the deck and carry it into the sitting room! (I'm afraid to watch!)
Here goes the old sofa- out and back in to the game room.
Success!
And now for the hard part!
And up comes the new couch.
Success again! Nothing got broken and nobody got hurt!
And if that wasn't complicated enough, Gimpy, the three-legged bear, came to watch. When I cautioned the guys about the bear, they said "not to worry- we eat bears." And I believe they really could!
