    This is a story about two silly people who bought a ridiculously large, very thin OLED TV and then *threw the box away*, not realising they’d be moving house a year later. The movers took one look at it and went, “Yeah, nah.” So today we rented a van and spent a good hour figuring it out. We had to move it upright, lifting from the very heavy base and trying not to touch or bend the screen at all, down 7 steps and out to the van. Rodd flatly (and wisely) refused my (illegal) suggestion that he ride back there and hold the base himself. We got it inside and stood it against the cage, padding the front with cushions and using tape to keep it from flexing backwards. Then we strapped down the base, and I drove us across town as smoothly as I could. The dodgiest bit was getting it out of the van, but thankfully a new neighbour lent a hand. Then up the lift and into the apartment, where I’m happy to report it still works! 😅📺

    Moral of the story: ALWAYS SAVE THE BOX. (Start tuned for the sequel when we have to do this again in 6 months…)

    We’re wiped out, but it went about as well as it could. A few more bits and pieces to pick up tomorrow, but we’re in. 😅

    Great news! We picked up the keys today for our rental apartment overlooking Sydney Park. We’ve got just over 2 weeks to clear out the house. (Anybody got an old extra fridge? Ours won’t fit…) #renovation
