New Furniture in Galveston - Chapter One

Recently, we ordered some new furniture from Restoration Hardware ... sofa and chair for the living room and new bedroom furniture to replace what Jerry had bought in 1980. In keeping with tradition, our Houston "cast-offs" generally get moved to Galveston.

I've LOVED my plum colored sofa & chair - with the wild print accent chair - but 14 years and one major hurricane and it was time to go. So we made arrangements to switch it out, knowing it was going to be a challenge. Not even fourteen years could erase the memory of replacing the original sleeper sofa that came with the townhouse!

The compact design of our place prevents anything large (and some normal sized objects) from being carried up the stairs because of the low ceiling on two and the tight turns around the stairwell. Enter Raul & Ernesto.

Step one - clear the decks.



Step two - remove the door.



Gotta love the open air concept in 100% humidity with temps in the HIGH 90s.



Step three - 32' ladder, secured to second and third floor balcony railings.



See chapter two ... when the excitement begins.
