Practical Living: Moving Heavy Furniture: A Second Cup Life Hack
Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 12:00AM We had the wooden floor in the living room refinished this week. We had to move everything out of the room. There were two very heavy pieces that son and husband couldn’t pick up. The plan was to slide those pieces over the Pergo floor to the room where we planned to store the furniture. I pointed out that if they scratched the Pergo we would have to replace it before putting the house up for sale. I suggested they slide heavy blankets under the furniture and then slide it into the next room. The potential for having to shell out even more money to get the house ready before we put it up for sale in the spring (don’t get me started), caused my suggestion to penetrate the cloud of testosterone fogging the house. Lo and behold they tried it...
And it worked.
Once the furniture was on the blanket, even I could have easily pushed it into the next room.

Good idea! We have some furniture moving rubber things that we can put under heavy things to slide it along, same principle. Happy Thanksgiving.
How clever of you to figure out the thick-blanket-furniture-moving-method. I use it all the time. I am just a normal weak woman!
Best wishes
