so my latest "project" is putting some feet on the couch. the couch is mammoth and in order to get it in the brackett st house the movers had to cut the feet off.. you wouldn't think that a couple of inches would make a difference. well, it does. the couch is extremely hard to get up off of. and sitting on the edge of it makes your legs cramp up like you've been sitting at a kindergartener's sized table.. so.. i went to home depot and bought a square piece of wood that i had the manager cut into 4 2.5 inch pieces. (he pissed and moaned the whole time) and i bought some really long screws. i wanted to buy the deck screws cause you don't need a pre drilled hole, and they drill themselves into the wood with a simple screwgun... BUT, katie talked me out of those and i got these other equally as long ones.
so last night i attempted to put the feet on the couch. LK was gone, so i had full use of the living room.
first, i was on the phone with cathy. she was back from her camping excursion. second, i pulled and pulled that dang 700lb couch and couldn't get it to budge. finally i wiggled my way behind it and was able to push it over upside down. don't forget, this is a sleeper couch..
i got the blocks and wouldn't you know the screws wouldn't screw themselves in... i have some drill bits, so i tried to drill a hole with my screw gun. nada...
so all that for nothing.. these are my options, please let me know if you have a better idea.
1. i can go back and buy the deck screws.
2. i can get some long nails and try to nail them in place,
3. i can use some of my shorter nails, and nail through the blocks at an angle into the couch.
i am so danged busy today... i hope to get out of here on time.
tonight is trivia.. i have a feeling we will be passing on our crown to some other team..
