I stepped outside this morning and couldn't breathe. Yes - it was a balmy 68 degrees and 118% humidity but not raining. And just look at the calendar...it's only January!
I knew this would happen...therefore we bought a tread mill for the really warm, muggy months.
The first one delivered to our house was busted. The second one arrived Monday night. We took the crate off moving the smaller parts to the upstairs combination guest / weight room.
Last night's goal was to carry the deck upstairs.
Well - THAT was way easier said than done!
It had to weigh 250lbs and you could only grip it in an awkward way and it had to go through doors on it's side. My arms are now a lovely shade of splotchy purple and brown due to the bruises.
By the time we got it to the base of the stairs, I was almost in tears and quickly rethinking this whole treadmill thing. There was NO way I was going to be able to get it up the stairs.
Luckily, our master bedroom has an alcove we were going to put furniture in. Now it houses the treadmill. (Just look at the money we saved with that maneuver! Plus we will be able to actually use the guest bedroom as a guest bedroom!)
Tonight's chore is to finish putting it together...after we carry everything back downstairs. Maybe by Sunday I'll be ready to try it. After all, we don't want to rush into these things!!! :)
