The Purple Diane Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 My husband & I just had a sunroom added to our house, and we're doing the flooring ourselves. He's injured his dominant shoulder and is under fairly strict instructions not to strain it any further. So last Saturday we went to Lowe's and bought... .... 11 boxes of bamboo flooring. The boxes are 3 feet long and probably weigh at least 20 pounds each. Awkward, especially for those of us with short little arms! I moved 11 of these boxes off the shelf and onto the cart. I moved 11 of these boxes off the cart and into the truck. I moved 11 of these boxes out of the truck and into the house. I moved 11 of these boxes from one end of the house to the other. (Then we found one box was mislabeled. Repeat the above in the reverse order and then again in the proper order with the LAST BOX they had in the right color. ) I did all this lifting without wobbling or getting tired. My main regret is that the boxes were too bulky to try carrying 2 at once. I am a cargo-shifting goddess! Go me! Quote Link to comment
