The price you pay for a free table
Hub's colleague had offered to give us his study table for free which we shamelessly agreed to take. So yesterday, we rented a U-Haul van to collect it from his place. The table turned out to be pretty heavy even after we had broken it into parts. Anyway, since we were already committed to taking it, the men loaded it into the van and we were off. Now it was just down to me and hubs carrying the pieces up three storeys up to our apt which I was so not looking forward to. But of course we had no choice and what a back breaking afternoon it was! At some point we were even stuck at the entrance to our apt and had to further dismantle the table so it could fit in. I also happened to break a handle to one of the drawers. It was quite a nightmare.
Anyway, here is the end product:
It was after we assembled the table that we realised we were missing a piece on the front. Apparently, we had left that one piece behind at the original owner's place. After all that, hubs still thinks it was worth the effort. But I'd certainly be suffering the effects of yesterday's hard work for the next few days! *oh the aches and pains!*

Ugh, that didn't sound very fun, but at least you guys did it!
I hear yer.. my ex's sister offered us a computer table too.. from her office. But we had to get help from a neighbour to bring it back. By the time, we were done bringing the whole family out for dinner and paying for gas - we might as well have bought a new one ourselves.
But having said that.. my present spouse - he is unlike the wimp i was with.. hahahha!! but that's another story for another day.
Good thing the U-Haul van was only $19.95 and we had to add a few dollars more for petrol and mileage. But I am aching so badly now! :(
