howie’s halfpipe

Its council clean up next weekend and all our neighbours began to build mountains of whitegoods and broken chairs on the verge.

So we decided to join the party.

We have a big fridge in our kitchen that doesnt work so i went and got my tool box and began removing the doors of the fridge. The freezer door was the first to come off, after first falling and smacking me in the knee cap. Eventually i got the the other door off and all the shelves out.

Then it was time to get the fridge from the kitchen, out through the front door , down the front steps then up the driveway and onto the verge.

Easier said than done. Myself and jenny combined is probably the strength of half a normal man. We put the fridge on a trolley and i moved it towards the front door with my back hunched over like a horse shoe with the fridge towering over my head just balance on the trolley.

after some careful moves we got the fridge onto the front verandah. then it seemd using the trolley taking it down the stairs was gonna be a bit hard with my lack of muscles. And seeing as we dont care ab out the fridge we just tipped on on its side and pushed it down the stairs.

then back onto the trolley to take it on the patrh round the front of the house towards the driveway. It was on the trolley for about 5 seconds of the journey. Then it began to tip off the side of the trolley, it felt like it was in slow motion but really. Bang! Wallap! the fridge was in the bushes. We rolled it out of the shrubbery to unveil the massive fridge shaped hole in the bushes.

its a big damn fridge.

anyway eventually we got it up the driveway onto the grass out the front.

no need to tell anyone about the scatches on the driveway, the big hole in the shrubbery or the chunk missing out of my knee.

a job well done.
