I am going to have a new sofa arriving on Tuesday and today (Friday) men are coming take away my old sofa. The trouble it is it won't fit through my lounge into my garden so I can get in out of my gate. It won't go through my lounge into my hall and out of my front door. It seems very well made with wood, metal and much padding. It is so very challenging to break it up indeed.

Have you ever faced a really challenging time?
If so how did you get through that?

Hey,
Hmm this kind of problems are quite common while shifting from one place to another or doing renovation etc. In my life i have moved to a lot of places and thus iam quite familar with these kind of problems.
When i was living in an another state of India we had a huge house. There was no shortage of space and our kitchen was almost the double size of our living room where i live now.
Ofcourse it was a rural place and now i live in a city. We were quite shocked and had to face lots of challenges while moving to a city where the property prices are sky rocketing. Right from our sofa, to bed to other furnitures it was very difficult to accomodate them in this house of ours.
Well I guess breaking them into small pieces is the only solution and good luck with yr new furnitures thumbup.

Cheers,
Tutul

Did you try taking the lounge door off its hinges? It would give you an inch or so more space to get the sofa through. I've known people take furniture through their windows before because it wouldn't fit through the door, but you'd have to have a window that swung out, leaving a large space.

The only challenge I had was when I bought a range cooker, bearing in mind, Im in a first floor flat. lol. There are nine stairs up from the front door, and three stone steps at a right-angle to the front door, with a wall around them, on three sides. It took four men and a couple of hours to get it up and into my kitchen. lol.

Brightest Blessings.
