Help moving ("not a body" edition)

[tahnan]

So, um, supposing that there were a couch available to us, and that it could even be transported, but that neither my wife nor I can particularly lift a couch. Is there anyone out there who could be bribed into helping (dinner, cookies, straight cash)?

When would this hypothetical couch be arriving? I'd help, and you wouldn't even need a bribe. I'd just need to clear it with my physical therapist first.

The when and the where are important factors, but in theory yes!

Hey! I didn't know you had an LJ! (This is Sam.)

tahnan, while I'm happy to help in theory, I can't imagine I'm any better at lifting couches than you guys are -- I have decent hands/wrists, but I am a tiny tiny weakling. If you need less-heavy things lifted, I'm in. Especially this week, since I'm on spring break and have very little scheduled.

Cool, now we have each other's code names!

I'd certainly be willing to help if the timing is reasonable.

I could possibly offer a vehicle (minivan) depending on the length of the couch, but the lifting part not so much for me.

I could lift. Is it a sleeper? Those are REALLY HEAVY and may be beyond me. But a regular couch I could probably do.

Assuming this is the couch I think it is (i.e. the one we're offering to tahnan), then it's 90" long, 36" deep, and about 30" high at the back. It's not a sleeper, and it's not particularly heavy -- I can move it around a room and stand it up on end without too much trouble. I'm also happy to help move it!

if you want to wait until Fortunetide weekend, I'd be happy to help
