2022-08-07 How a ordinary couples can carry a TV weighing over 75 kg upstairs and then up to the top of a wardrobe (Part 2). [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

To begin with, the problem was how to lift the TV upstairs, which is a difficult task just to lift for us.

We judged that the normal way to carry it by lifting was impossible at the second step of the first staircase.

On the second step, with one end of the TV hooked to the stairs and the other on the chair, I start thinking for a long time.

-----

If it's impossible to carry it, then the only way is to pull it up from above and push it up from below".

I devised a 'super-snail's pace strategy', where we would go up the stairs one step at a time, re-fasten the rope each time, take a break, and then pull it up with the rope again.

I ran to a DIY-shop to buy a rope.

But once I had the rope, there was a problem. The rope had 'no' place to bind it.

Our house is built using the 2x4 construction method, so there are no 'pillars' to begin with.

I then decided to pull a 20-metre rope up to my room and tie it to the iron bar.

We finished the day's (Saturday's) process when we finally lifted the TV onto the upstairs landing after less than an hour of placing it on the blanket-lined stairs, with my wife pulling it up with a rope from above and me pushing it up from below.

However, there was still no means of lifting this TV onto the wardrobe at this time.

I again began to think for a long time.
