[QUOTE="Star*, post: 446158, member: 4964"] Well as with any STAR story - there has to be some rain.....OMG this was priceless. The people got here as promised at 9:00 AM. WONDERFUL, LOVELY couple and they brought three of their grandchildren. They were absolutely georgeous kids. We chatted briefly and then offloaded from their low small trailer. I complimented her on backing because I know how hard that is. (no really CDL school and all that) So it took 4 of us to get it off their trailer. They asked if they could help get it IN the door. (It looked like rain) DF said that would be great - into the den, not necessary to get it into the kitchen. OMG please no - because the house is a sty. THe den was bad enough - but LORD PLEASE-----do me the courtesy. Well you think men with all their tools and (SLAPS HAND ) here we go for the logical ka ka again.....would have measured the door to the kitchen, the fridge, the handles ON the fridge and accounted for it. DId he? Noooooo. So now we have an 800 lb. fridge freezer in our den, my Mom is on her way from Ohio, my house is torn up like OMG - and I wanted to do that little bit of landscaping too....you know find the driveway. So now what? We have NO back porch. Nope......he tore that off 9 years ago and never rebuilt it. So the drop is like 4 feet. Or should I say the hike?
