What to do?

Post by Stevie S »

Ideas on the best way to get a fruity up a flight of stairs. There like slate stairs in a block of flats so no carpet to sofen things up plus a tight turn at the top so danger of falling back down with a 130kilo fruity on top of you :? . Feel like its not worth me tryin, cant remeber exactly how awkward and a heavy a fruity is? Any ideas?

So im thinkin is it even worth tryin? say someone gets hurt or dies? even worse say i get hurt or i die? :|

By the time i get it up there (if i can) it wont be worth shit as ive batterd it to death on the way up and it no longer works? so i'll have to just launch it back down (nieghbours wont be happy like).

Help please.

Fact: Since 1976 36 people have died shaking vending machines tryin to get thier stuff out. :|
how about a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray.

I did this once, moved one into a flat.
You need a sack barrow and two people, it's laborious, but basically someone goes up backwards at a tilt, while the person at the front holds one hand under the machine and one on front, providing lift simultaneously to the person at back who pull up on the sack barrow handles.
If it goes tits-up you've also discovered a great emptier, although the coins tend to get scattered on stairs all the way down.
BTW I was called 'sad' a few times when people realised I had a machine in my flat.
