AT LAST the dental chair is in place.
For those who remember the dental chair in the porch, here is its journey.
It was a fantastic ebay purchase which had sat in a garage for two years until we bought it. We hired a van, went to collect it and it weighed a ‘ton’, but two men got it into the van.
One man got it out of the van and into the porch where it remained the best part of a year and then one man moved it into the reception. There it remained for 3 months and then a community payback team of 4 strong men moved it into the foyer at the bottom of the stairs (great work lads!!).
We were advised it was too heavy and therefore a health and safety hazard to move up the stairs. So there it remained for another two weeks. We asked a well known moving organisation to assess the chair and give us a quote to move it upstairs and into place. They came round and had a look, shook their head and said “oooh its really heavy”. Da!!
Unperturbed we called another well know removal firm the subject of TV programmes. Their advice – “You could take it apart, that would make it easier for us to move”. Da!! if we had wanted to take it part we would not need a removal firm.
ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS AS A SIGN THAT THIS CHAIR IS NOT MEANT TO GO UPSTAIRS AND GIVE UP. This thought was entertained for a moment or two. But knowing full well that anything is possible we turned to Google and found a removal company who said “yes of course we can move it”.
Now that’s more like it. A can do attitude even in the face of adversity. Many Thanks Small Movers.
AT LAST the chair is now in place and we can progress. We will keep you updated.
