So I've been stalking the FB garage sale page for months and months. One time I came really close to getting a futon/couch for $25, but NE couldn't come help me that night, so I lost it.
Sunday night though I saw a post from someone selling multiple things - no prices listed and no location. One of the items was a loveseat. The post was three days old with a "bump" comment saying everything was still available.
I PMd the person and found out she lived fairly close to me and wanted $90 for the loveseat. That was a little more than I was really wanting to spend, but I LOVED the look of it and it looked small enough to fit into my space well.
So I asked her if it would be okay to come over after 7 Monday night. She was okay with it.
--
NE calls me Monday about 6:48 to let me know he'd be there in ten minutes. I let him know about the loveseat. He wasn't exactly thrilled to have it sprung on him like that ... (oops - I really meant to email him that morning, but forgot ...)
I didn't have any rope (to tie it to his roof) so we stopped at Walgreen's and then Family Dollar to get rope.
He needed gas ... I texted the person to let her know that we really were coming. (It was nearly 7:30)
Finally we get to her apartment building and I give her a call .. she comes down the stairs. Thankfully she was only on the second floor.
After we got to her apartment and I saw it in person, I knew I'd made a good decision.
NE and I wrestled it out to his car, and managed to get it up on the roof. Then we tied it on and drove the few miles to my place with me holding on to one end of the rope (in the car.)
We wrestled it into my place, and I got it to where I wanted it while NE parked.
Kari right away was super interested in this new thing. She actually slept part of the night on it last night.
So anyway ... here is a picture of it:
It's super comfy, well worn, but otherwise in good shape. I'm glad I stayed patient and didn't breakdown and order a futon from Walmart or something ...
My New Loveseat! :)
