When not attending to garden tasks what other things have filled your day?

If I come it won't be a sideboard I unwrap

 

I already unwrapped it. I need muscle to hoist it onto it's feet once the legs are on, though.

Yes, I deliberately ignored the inuendo.

 

DHR Your nice furniture & ordered a new chair. No pics showing. Here is a screen shot.

 

Annie I use leverage to lift heavy things by piling heavy books or whatever under each side higher and higher until all that is left is to push it upright . Using a block or wedge to keep it from sliding foreword. You might want to take all the drawers out first. I’ve been in a few different heavy lifting situations and just by using leverage has been helpful. Sometimes a long crow bar can help start the leverage lift. It’s just a system that works for me as lifting heavy furniture in the past has made the move much easier.

 

I bought myself a late Christmas, or New Year's gift. It's a stupid gift, really, but I have been wanting one literally for years !! This time, as I tried pass them by, at Walmart there was a magnetic pull on me !!
I couldn't get all the way.passed !! I rolled my cart back and just grabbed one and put him in the kiddy seat of the cart.








I wuv him !!
Any name suggestions?? You can't have a stuffed Sloth with no name !!

 

Come on over and show me how !!

 

OMGOODNESS. WHAT ? A raccoon… At first thought it was a teddy bear, but no ears? It makes you look so teensy tiny… what a cutie… now where ya gonna put it? And ya got a name for it yet?
I had a big Tiger huge , for years . So no judgement here. …
Luv, luv the background colors and styling of that room .

 

He's a Sloth !! I need name suggestions !! Anything but Seymore. Seymour Sloth isn't a good name, IMHO.I

If you zoom in you can see how swollen my eye and face still are.

 

A sloth !!! A sloth with no name….how bout SLO-Mo?

 

Some soft toys are easy to name.

My sister was born in 1947.
In the early fifties, our dad won this in a raffle at work and gave it to her.

Of course, he had to be called Brumas after the polar bear born in the late forties at London Zoo, who was very popular.
She's still got him. Her daughter, when she came along, wasn't allowed to play with him.
He's very big. She did have him restored a bit a few years ago.

Here he's wearing his Wimbledon F.C. football kit.

 

A 1940’s teddy could be a vintage item , possibly worth a few dollars to collectors.

 

I'm naming him Joe-Bob .

 

He looks like a Jim-Bob!

 

Use a car jack to initially lift it, them block it up with books like Pan said, or wood, anything sturdy. Then while its up attach legs, then jack it back down. Do one end a time.

 

Sorry about that.
Here's the pictures from another hosting site.

The sideboard and coffee table we bought from Dwell





Either of the two halves of the top can be slid out sideways to access the storage below.



and the new chair will look like this one that's in the lounge, but without the blocks attached to the base which I put on, to raise it a bit, to make easier for her (and her friend) to get in and out of it.




In case my wife wants to use it as a change from this her other one. This has an additional, add on, "ring" base to lift it up.
