EDIT: We got this sorted out tonight, my wife was looking at some options too. Thank you for the offers!

Hello — we need help moving a couch in to our townhouse. We have a pretty tight stairwell and the delivery guys just couldn’t make it fit. The only way to get it in is through a second story deck, which they wouldn’t do for liability reasons, so now it’s in our entryway.

Anyways, I’m not a super fit fella, and my wife is pregnant, so we need help getting this thing up through the second level. We did something similar when we moved in with a big couch and it wasn’t too bad. It’s your basic three seat sofa, not too heavy, no crazy recliner contraptions or hide away beds inside.

We’re offering $50 each for two people. We would like this moved ASAP as were all ready for it and it’s taking up our whole entry way. Please PM me if you’re interested and we can set up a time.

Here is a photo of the

Ok, what's the plan here? Are you going to use a pulley system? I recommend 3:1 block and tackle. Double braid nylon rope. You got 1/2" on hand? I don't expect you to have a winch, but how about a come along?

Alright, let's do this!

Edit: in all seriousness, I wish I could help. I am free tomorrow afternoon.

We had some friends come with their truck — the tallest guy stood in the bed and we pushed it up, then he held it and we rotated up to the top, pulled it up using strength and slid it over the rail! A little bit touch and go but we made it.
