We got some new living room furniture this weekend and had one small problem. What were we to do with the old stuff? I don't have access to a truck so taking away the couch and two chairs seemed an uphill battle. The furniture store charged a substantial delivery fee, but didn't do take away. I wound up taking the Lazy Boy to the Goodwill with no problem in the minivan. The next day when I took the large upholstered chair to the thrift store for donation, the guy almost refused it. It seems that even the Goodwill has its standards. Upon returning home I realized that the couch was too raggedy, but what was I to do with it? The trash man wouldn't pick it up. However, if the sofa was in pieces in bags... you see where I'm going with this. I broke out the heavy artillery: a claw hammer, razor knife, and the pièce de résistance, a Craftsman circular saw! I had so much fun disassembling that the kids envied me. A cloud of cloth and sawdust ensued and we carried out the couch in a thousand pieces. On trash day the unfortunate furniture departed with the rest of the garbage. All you men can now pound your chests and grunt like an ape just like Tim Allen.
Stay tuned
