Last piece of the puzzle

As we've been rearranging the lounge room and making the place a bit more comfortable, we decided that a nice lowline entertainment unit would set the lounge room just beautifully.

Well, Karen ordered it and it arrived yesterday. Because our lounge room is quite large and open plan, the unit was planned to go up against thefar wall (for those that know our lounge room). Well the plan was OK - all except for getting the 3 metre (10 feet) unit into the house!

I had to quickly remove the picket fence/railing from our front verandah to allow access through the front door. The 2 delivery guys that turned up were honestly the oldest, un-muscliest, un-delivery type guys you could imagine and gave Karen all sorts of reasons why it couldn't be taken into house any other way - hence I had to do a bit of ad hoc DIY. Luckily the railing went back up OK (albeit, temporarily). At least it's safe.

And the unit looks great in the room, Karen's very happy that it sets the room off nice and symmetrically. Who knew? The way to a woman's heart is via furniture symmetry!
