Yay? I just bought an as-is Klippan sofa with black cover for only $300 - though I'm paying them $80 to have it delivered. I could have gotten it between 5 and 10 tonight, but I asked for between 4 and 8 tomorrow. Huh. Wish I had a friend with a truck, as we all do that once every 6 months to 2 years we want to move something.

I am not paying them an extra $60 to carry it up the stairs, so I could use a strong volunteer to help me lug it up the stairs. I pray to whatever that it fits in my apt door! Then...to heave off the old couch.
Hmm...if it doesn't fit around that wall in front of the door, I do have a new stanley fatmax extreme 20 oz version that I could use to discuss my disagreement with the wall

Anyone around Rosslyn, VA, tomorrow evening-ish?

If I were not a wimpy little thing, I'd volunteer to help you with it before the club tomorrow!

Yeah - of course club is still on :)

BTW, I noticed that Zip Car rents out pickup trucks hourly...

I didn't know that! I checked the rental cars they noted at Ikea and they were $40 / hr, $50 day. I know you can get a u-haul for $20 - 30 plus mileage, that always is over $50. For taht I figured close enough. Plus...$560 retail couch (when cover counted) at my house for 380...still pretty sweet.

Good to know for the future though - I'll have to ditch the old one. Wonder if Murky can still take it.

You should get in touch with jukebox_heroine, she works with a charity that is currently looking for misc. furniture and stuff. I'd link to her post about it, but it seems to be locked...

You can also freecycle the old sofa. Should be a yahoo!group for NoVa.

I hope the fatmax comment was a joke.... if you bought another one just for the nostalgia I'm going to have to refer you for a psych eval...

How much does it weigh?

That I don't know, but Mike has said he'll come over and help (but from Falls Church!?) They say they'll deliver between 4 and 8pm tonight, so it's kinda hairy. I'm probably going to have them deliver to the hallway (my buildlnig has a security door and is very property-friendly) and i'm not sweating it. I haven't even made plans for moving the old couch.

Thinking of it I need to hit Murky and catch the mgr.

[pennan.livejournal.com]

I am available as extra help.

Heh. you said hairy.

[vicar.livejournal.com]

But you're way out? Or you're in and around Rosslyn between 4-8 time unspecified?

[pennan.livejournal.com]

just offering you the use of my body.... ;-p
