Day Too Many: Couches!!

  Today was the day when we finally got the furniture we ordered back on July 26th.  They arrived earlier in the day than the estimated time frame, which was nice.  The delivery people took a look at where they were going to be putting them and said that there was no way they were going to fit down the stairs.  Bill told them to leave the large couch in the kitchen after they asked if we wanted to send them back.  The delivery people were going to leave both in the kitchen, but Bill got them to try and move the smaller one down and it was easy to do.  As the delivery people were leaving they kept insisting that we were going to have to take the banister off.

  Once Bill was able to get off his work calls we tried to move the larger one down.  We went the wrong way the first time, but were able to get it back up the stairs and rotate it.  The second time we got it to the bottom of the stairs and almost got ourselves stuck in a corner.  We had it on it's side at the bottom of the stairs and Bill had wedged himself to the same side I was on.  Luckily I was able to squeeze between the couch and the stairs and get to the other side.  We then lifted and rotated and it went right over.  It was pretty easy to do.

  I'm so glad that I still like them!  It's been so long that I was forgetting what they looked like and was starting to get nervous that I wouldn't like them when they arrived.  They have a velvet feeling fabric and go with the color theme.  That's something I never thought I would say.

  We still need to finish the other section of shelves for the rest of the DVDs and Blu-rays.  Right now it look like I will either have to move the smaller couch back some, or just have a bit less space to work with when I play Just Dance.  I'll have to test to see if the couch matters when playing the game so we will know if we have to move it completely out of the way once we can have people over again and have more people playing.  When I tested it before I was able to go all the way to the other side of the stairs and had more problems seeing than the sensor did picking up my movements.

  I asked Bill about a coffee table and while I think it would be handy, he doesn't seem to think we will need one.  I guess people are just going to have to hold their drinks and snacks.  Or we could bring down some TV trays and set those up when needed.

  I've also sold enough of the patterns I have on eBay that was able to move some things around in my craft room.  It's still a bit too cluttered, but I'm working on it.  I'm also down to just one large bin of yarn to give away, though there is always the chance that I will change my mind about some yarn and decide to donate more.
