The Lazy Susan Dilemma (or the One Where I Have an Idea)

If you have been following my posts, you might remember when the cabinets were delivered, they were first put in the garage and then moved to the sun porch in the order in which they are to be hung in the kitchen.


EXCEPT, the lazy susan cabinet.  It was too big to go through any of the doors in the back and I had my doubts about it going through the front door, with taking it or the door apart.  It's heavy and bulky.

Now I really didn't want a lazy susan cabinet to begin with.  I had one in Mansfield, and I didn't like the thing.  I couldn't store things in it and the things I did store, I couldn't reach them properly.   So I had bad feelings from the start against this cabinet.   I know V, my KD, probably thought again I was nutsy fagan not to want a lazy susan, but if I put a regular cabinet in, I would lose space, so I went ahead and put the @#@$#@ thing in the design.

So, it's now time for Ms. lazy susan cabinet to come in the house.  Paul thought, hey, let's take it out of the box and the kids, myself and he would carry it from the garage around the house and in the front door.  Now did I really want to carry this bemoth of a cabinet out of the garage, around the house and in the front door. NOPE. And I don't really have the upper arm strength to continuously carry something of that weight.   Normally, I have to carry sheet rock and MDF (medium density fiber board) one board at a time.  Sometimes I can carry sheet rock, two at a time, but not often.

So I made a suggestion.  What if we took it and loaded it in the back of our Honda Van and drove it around to the front. And, at least that way, we wouldn't have to carry it so far.     Bear in mind, I am not an engineer, but I am left and right brained (or at least at times).  We had to measure to make sure it would fit and you can bet I was keeping my fingers crossed that it would.

Well it did.  So we load it, drive it around and then maneuver it in the front door (it has to go in diagonally), and then carry it into the kitchen.  The good news is we didn't drop it.  The better news is, it is in place.

Now let's just see if I like the thing better when the kitchen is finished.
