How much more furniture won't fit?

We always expected to store the hot tub in the garage until we decided if we wanted it putting in the back garden, as wewill need a crane to lift it over the house! Not a simple process.

We then had to put 3 wardrobes in there as they wouldn't go through an arch in the hallway and turn 90 degrees to get up the stairs!

The 3 seater sofa was already in pieces to get it out of the last house, so that went on ok.

When I viewed the house I asked about the main bedroom and was told the bed in there was a King size, as is ours, so that was ok.

Or so we thought.

What I hadn't realised is that because we have a large bedhead and footer as well as the bed being King sized, when we put it altogether - the head would be against one wall and the foot would be against the other. If I wanted to nip to the loo in the night I would have to clamber over Neil.

Not ideal.

We decided to dismantle the bed and move ourselves to another room. It meant we weren't in the main bedroom with the built in wardrobes and en-suite, but hey, it will make a great guest room and they will have their own facilities.

Finally, we had the bed in place. Tomorrow we would dismantle the wardrobes, carry them upstairs and re-assemble them.

Time to charge up the screwdriver!
