And this is why I love him
I have the best, smartest, most resourceful husband, brother-in-law, and nephew in the world. I said, “How did you figure it out when the professional delivery people couldn’t do it?” and Blaine replied, “They didn’t have a vested interest in making it work.” Which I think is code for “I didn’t want to see my wife cry twice in one day.”
Gayle, believe me, I would prefer NOT to have the master bedroom upstairs. Not only will I have to walk up our stairs, which are incredibly steep, just to get to and from my bedroom, but the laundry room is downstairs which means I’ll be lugging laundry as well. For someone as lazy as I am, it is NOT an appealing proposition.
But since we moved into this house two years ago I have been bitching and moaning about the ridiculously huge bedrooms and disproportionately small living spaces. This is the best way we could figure to solve that problem and are incredibly hopeful it will make us much happier in our own home. I have no doubt when the kids move out, and Blaine and I become too decrepit to make it up and down the stairs, we’ll move our bedroom back downstairs. But until then, room for all of us in the living room, finally!

Oh sweet relief. Did you fall in love with him all over again? Did you cry tears of joy and exhaustion at the end of the day?!

I think you need to call the store and bitch for some type of reimbursement. The fact that 2 men, who are not professional furniture deliverers, and a *child* figured out how to get the couch in the room and the “professionals” couldn’t (wouldn’t), oh man I would be sooo pissed. Delivery and setup are generally a steep fee and if they offer “free” delivery, the cost is really rolled in to the cost of your furniture. Good luck getting the contractor situation worked out. Maybe you and the contractor(s) need to sit down and have a “Come To Jesus” about your expctations. Don’t be afraid to, this is *your* money and they are working for you.

How about some before and after pictures? I remember the pictures when you moved into the house and that crazy huge closet. I would love to see what you have done.

Kristie, do what I do with the laundry, just throw it down the stairs and then have your husband lug it back up when it’s clean and dry. Saves my back AND it makes him feel like he’s being helpful. Although I must admit that my lovely husband, and Blaine, seem to be more than helpful around the house.
