Morning Libby...
I don't think I've every got close to Nully's basement. That is still too dark and deep for me yet. It skeers me to even think of it.
Bet you can't wait to get that new couch. Don't you hate waiting for stuff that you just bought? It's sooo unfair..
Welcome to my parlor...
LOL..the parlor I can take...it's those few short steps down that scares the heck out me. I just know that you have something terrifying down there, and it has nothing to do with your presence alone, and that's scary enough! ;)
Did they catch him in a booby trap?
Yes, I'm anxious to get it, but I am fretting over whether or not it will fit through the door. And if it doesn't, then what?
Move to California...
My Dyan may have the same problem.
They just put all new doors on her house that's being done over, and she thinks the front door could be smaller because of the storms they put on, but...if worse comes to worst, you can probably take the frames and all off, worse case scenario. Not a pretty job tho.
She has our old leather sectional that we had in FL..and it just made it in the house with the old doors.. We shall see. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because she/we don't need to buy another one right now...:(
Ah yes....where one has to choose between furniture and a house because you couldn't afford both, and the house probably wouldn't be big enough for the furniture anyway. And consider that I get mad at Mexican restaurants hearing people blabbering in Mexican Spanish. I'd be a raving lunatic living somewhere where English was a peripheral language. And I like quiet. I lose my cool over the occasional car going by with a boom box blasting. If I had to live with the noise you have around you, I'd be curled up under the table in fetal position with my hands over my ears.

One of my kids read a book about teleporting when he was in grade school. (OF course I also had to read it and coach him or he would have flunked out. LOL) I think it was "A Door in the Wall" by Marguerite de Angeli but from the website it doesn't look familiar... Darks might like the medieval period. Pretty cool for a children's book. Those newbery books are so cool. I guess everybody and everybody's brother are writing children's books these days. Even Jay Leno. LOL!

The opening to my front door is 32 inches. I suppose I should go and talk to them at the store and see if that will be adequate. I know that there is a back section that can removed from the furniture to make it more manageble, but it is still pretty good-sized. There is a section by the front door where the ceiling is about 10 inches lower than the rest of living room too, so that limits how much you can reposition something at the entrance. This is really the first place I've lived that could comfortably accomodate that size sectional. How ironic it would be if it wouldn't fit through the door.
Yes; I will certainly have to make sure that whoever delivers it is insured in the event that they damage it. I would be be livid if I spent that much money and ended up with the fabric torn or something. You would think that furniture would be designed to fit through a standard size doorway, wouldn't you?
Yeah. Like that's never happened to me...
LOL!
The main door leading from my foyer into the studio is 35 inches to and I am thankful it was to handle moveing in those new Refigerator that are about 31-33 in. in it narrowist place!
Yes...the average opening of an outside door is usually 35x80.
Dyan's is now down to a 32" and she is sweating it. She needs a new frig eventually too.
No sweat in FL...as we all have sliders.. nice big ones..lol. Of course I have one now in this house too, but it's rough getting the big trucks down to the back yard around the barn. It's been done tho.
In Cancun we had to get our furniture lifted up to the fifth floor and thru the sliders. You can bet those sliders are no longer there now tho. We had everything distroyed with Gilbert, and this one was worse. :( Those poor people, it will be years before they even get the beach back.
