Hi Everyone:
The blog that I was going to write today has been postponed due to the coolest invention/tool (?) that I saw in use today and I just had to write about it. I don't know how long this tool has been around, but today was the first time that I had seen it and I was impressed. Those of you who know me, know that it takes a lot to impress me.
So the story goes like this: our old refrigerator wasn't freezing so well anymore, so last night we went to Sears and bought a new one. The new refrigerator was delivered today, yes today, on a Sunday and it only cost an extra $10 to do so. There were 2 deliverymen. One was about 5'10" and the other was about 5'5". The truck was huge and had an electric lift gate on the rear. After lowering the refrig to the ground, they removed the cardboard box and placed a strap, that was about 4-5" wide, under the bottom of the refrig. Next they stood at opposite sides of the refrig and attached the strap ends to the other end of this cool invention while bending over some. Both guys had the same size width straps that crisscrossed over their shoulder blades and attached to a buckle at their mid section. The end of that section was where the strap that went under the refrig attached to. Then they stood up slowly and proceeded to walk the refrig right up to the door, at a fast paced clip if I say so myself.
I was amazed at how easily they were able to maneuver the refrig through the door. It was so much more easier then any other way I have seen or used, even when I have moved refrigerators. A very important fact here that I must add or I would be remiss, is the fact that both guys were always communicating with each other to make moving seem effortless. This is a well thought out tool to use to lift heavy objects. It is obvious that common sense was used in the inventing and designing of it. Both the guys said that they loved it. They said it was the best and easiest tool to use. It is called a shoulder harness and supposedly you can check it out at shoulderharness.com.
Til next week.
