This is what happens when the man of the house refuses to let anyone help him. Good thing we didn't keep any of that pesky leftover paint for the gash in the wall that just magically appeared.....
(taking the tv down to put up a new one) He couldn't lift it so fashioned a ramp out of old moldy wood. TV slid down, slid over the side and bashed into the wall.
A guy done that?? REALLY? That looks like a method a woman would use to remove a tv Why not just lift it and lower it I know its heavy but jeez iv lifted tv's that size on my own. You replacing it with LCD?Much lighter
I'll give it to him that it's too big to lift alone. It's bigger than it looks, one person couldn't get his arms around it. What could have happened is he could have let our neighbor come and help, but nooooo That would be like asking for directions. One would never do that for then they might have to relinquish their mancard. Yes, LCD, much lighter. I floated the idea of an aquarium going there instead, no go :/
yeah dont look that big to not be able to lift it.... though my 46" lcd weighs less than half of my old 27" crt
Yeah, us plus two roommates. It's 'loads' of fun I prefer living alone myself but it's CA and it's flippin expensive out here!
What he should have done was move the couch over near where the TV is and just roll the TV off the shelf onto the couch...
So, four people living there and one tv can't get moved? You girls didn't volunteer to help out? Anyways, I'm declaring the guy a weak dumbass. Tell the guy to get some exercise and a clue. :danger:
Yeah, I do too. Even lifting it side ways it should be able to be done alone. Face the screen toward your chest, still alone. Hell, the old 37" ones could be moved by myself. My 50" plasma is about half the weight of my old 37". This reminded me of the old days when a 19" "portable" tv had to moved by 2 people. Those suckers were made of steel and the picture tubes were HEAVY! Oh wait, it's Cali and the dude lives with 3 women. Soooo, I'm guessing it's really like living with 4 women.
I recently got rid of an APEX 32" old school TV that looked similar to that, and it was way too heavy for me to lift by myself. It was unbelievable how fucking heavy that TV was; and I'm 6'2"/230. Don't be so hard on the guy. There are still a few of those heavy ass relics around, and they are like lifting a solid block of steel. I would've done it the way Alien said. :thumbs-up:
The sucker is fucking heavy. This pic makes it look small as well. I did help with it. And I can't remember the last time we were all home at once :icon_rolleyes: Also the height it was at was just awkward as I am short. I like how everyone is suddenly an expert from looking at a picture :thumbsup: It's interesting posting the same thing on two different forums and seeing the reactions. GK never fails to be the one where the bashing occurs. Every time.
So whats the other forum?:icon_biggrin: For what its worth i know them TVs are heavy cos iv got a bigger one thatn that in my spare room and it was a cunt to move but i did it,i can relate to the guy not asking for help cos i recently moved my washing machine outside to get picked up and noone believed i got it up and down stairs and navigated round tight corners all by myself...but im just stubborn that way i guess. Anways,you guys gonna roll with an LCD now or what
Yeah thats what i mean,lol,iv got 2 LED tvs,a small 19inch and a 32inch.LCD are the big old plasma ones right? I got my 32inch LED HD tv for £250..... bargain!:thumbsup:
TBH I have no idea what he got to replace it. It's flat. It was on sale for Labor Day. That's about the jist of my knowledge of the subject. I never watch the tv out there. Also, the cleaning lady is cleaning the kitchen so I am hiding (first world problems) or I would go look. The other forum is a reef forum where I readily give out my address to members for coral trading....so I probably won't link to it. I have mentioned it before though.
It's a delicate relationship between the cleaning lady and the homeowner One must never tip the balance :thumbsup:
