Michael arrived spot on time, not that it was far to go.... Mr. J was ready and waiting to explain the task. One of the armchairs in the lounge needed moving into his bedroom. He hadn't been using the bed as much as he'd like due to having no where to sit when he woke up. His condition meant he struggles to get around for long, so completing this task would change his day considerably.

After a quick chat, Michael got his head in the chair to try to figure out how the thing came apart. 10 minutes later and he still wasn't sure, so it was time to just pull and push clips to see what happened. Thankfully, the second attempt had the back of the chair slide off with ease.

Mr. J showed Michael the bedroom and decided where was best for the chair, so with a bit a rearrangement there was soon room for the chair. As soon as Mr. J was seated again, Michael started moving the chair. A couple of tight fits and 'shimmies' of the chair parts and it was finally in place.

Michael went back in to see Mr. J to let home know that the task was complete. He was very grateful for the work, and had been waiting for six months to get the chair moved. Not in any rush to leave Michael and Mr. J sat and chatted about the World for a while before saying goodbye.
