Mrs L's sofa had support issues... nothing was supporting the middle of it, so the seat cushions had become a big divot. A new couch was being planned for. First, the old one had to be moved outside to make space.

As usual, it felt like the walls and doorframe had been built after the sofa was already in the room. How on earth did it get there in the first place?! Some twisting and pushing was needed to get the sofa into the hall. One step forward. The street door was even narrower though, so there was more twisting, pushing and squeezing of the old cushions while trying not to damage the door frame. After a bit of a struggle, the sofa was free and left outside for collection.

Mrs L's daughter wanted to fill the sofa sized gap for the time being, so a chair and dining table set were brought down from the bedrooms above. The chairs were easy. Attaching the table legs to it's top wasn't. It was impossible to get the bolt holes to line up, even with a lot of force to push and twist each leg to the correct angles to fit the bolts. Kash and Sevan did what they could, then left the problem for Mrs L's son in law who might have better tools and who Mrs L agreed was good at fixing things.
