You can use a Climb Cart! They look like they work really well. The issue might be the weight of the object you're moving upstairs or downstairs, though.

With a sloped bathroom floor and a drain, you could actually have a shower without a threshold that you can roll a wheelchair into, or walk into without tripping over the threshold. I love that idea!

When my family stayed in New Orleans for a cousin's wedding our bathroom had a floor like that. Le Pavillon does not use half measures when it comes to handicap accessibility!

In other news, the guy I've been crushing on since July 4 and engaging in occasional flirty banter that didn't progress anywhere with upgraded us to sexting buddies last night. This looks promising!

I would just love to have a bathroom floor that wasn't such a ridiculously slippery fall hazard that I have to cover it in towels when I shower. The previous owners obviously bought the cheapest tile they could find.

Yay Matt!!

Sophia I think you either order delivery and ensure it includes going up stairs, or you hire two strong people off task rabbit or craigslist or something? It says 128 pounds

Sophia that fridge is so pretty! Maybe you could hire a local moving company to get it up the stairs? I'm surprised Home Depot doesn't offer that as a service.

Maybe having a climb cart on hand would be a good idea in general, though, since you have stairs that you'll want to get stuff up and down in the future.

Re: sloped bathroom floor with drain - that sounds amazing but I just wish my bathtub drain was actually the lowest point of the tub

But we have so goddamn much clutter that a cleaner wouldn't be able to do much. Although I suppose I could just tell them "Hey, I just need you to clean the bathroom, kitchen, and baseboards that are accessible. Take my money!"

Absolutely you can tell them that!

She is TOUGH.

She is! But I still seriously question her priorities.

I'm pretty sure most professional appliance stores will either throw in 'delivery and setup' or charge a reasonable fee to get it in and get the old one out -- it worked that way with my old TV, since the giant tube took two big guys to carry out!

I once observed with my stubborn mother who was resisting the need to see a doctor for Something Very Serious that as you get older, 'stubborn' stops being an absolutely good survival trait and into something that gets you killed.

Sounds like Trump is going through his own health woes (sharp-eyed observers have noticed that suddenly the White House doctor is accompanying him on ALL trips) and I can only hope his usual wise decision-making process that has produced the clown car of an administration goes a long ways towards following wise medical advice.
