Furnitures
Well, I guess I forgot to put up the furniture pictures from when I got new furniture last fall. The backstory... last fall my Uncle Bill sent out a group email with pictures of a ton of furniture (probably literally) and asked all us relatives if we were interested in any since he was remodeling and passing things on. I said yes to whatever he wanted to send me... up to and including everything via phone. But then realized that was a bit much. So, followed up with several emails pleading for less. Well, the emails were silently rejected by his email program and so I ended up the proud owner of one and a half lift trucks worth of furniture. The itemized list is:
Despite being barged & trucked from Moses Lake they made all the right connections in Seattle and Whittier and so the whole deal took just over a week to get up here. Not your grandpa's barge speed. Well, John Johnson worked the phone and had the stuff dropped at his house, a half mile from mine. So that created the problem of how to get it to my place. I remembered I had an old school dog sled and so I rode the sled behind his truck and we pulled everything to my place:
Talk about a kick in the pants. Pretty fun moseying down the street with a 10 foot sled full of stuff. Got some waves from the neighbors and weirded out a few other cars. Here's the aftermath:
So, that was pretty fun. My square footage is 320 sqaure feet downstairs and about 160 upstairs. I got everything in but the rocking chair (the picnic table chills outside) and an old coffee table of mine standing on its side upstairs now. How cool is that. Here's all patched up and put together:
... the post script... despite all that stuff 16 people managed to squeeze into the downstairs there a couple weeks ago for a going away party for Sunit. Crazy.
* 1 Long Coffee Table
* 1 Hydabed
* 2 glass topped end tables
* 1 piano
* 1 picnic table & chairs
* 1 rocking chair
* ... and a work belt
