Working Stupid
Mood:
don't ask
Today, I was helping two guys move junk from my mother's basement to a truck in the driveway. All went well, until we started to take the door off of an old refrigerator. For about 20 minutes we took turns trying to smash the door off with a hammer and a crowbar.
We were like the 3 stooges putting in a light bulb, one guy held the bulb while the other two turned the ladder.
The screws holding the outside door brackets didn't fit our flathead screwdriver so we held the refrigerator against the wall and tried to smash the door off. This was working stupid for 20 minutes
Finally, one guy(not me)discovered the inside brackets could be removed with a flathead screwdriver. We removed the screws and then removed the door. This was working smart for 3 minutes.
Getting a large appliance up small stairs onto a small landing and then out a wee door was a very difficult task. Thank God for vasoline.
Actually, the secret was three guys working together to flip the fridge at the right time.
My mother was pleased enough to tip me for my efforts. I was happy to go from "Moving For Stooges" to "Moving Made Easy For Dummies."
