Summer is over
Oct. 8th, 2012 07:58 amSo the "portable" air conditioner is no longer needed in the lounge, and can go and hide in the garage out of the way. Dave mentioned lifting it as a job for him to do once recovered from the hernia, since we know it's far too heavy for me. Or is it? Let's find out.
On its wheels and the flat, yes, it's heavy, but moveable. It's going to be down the step to the path, and up the step to the garage that will be... oh. A one-hand lift. OK.
Curious, I wondered just how much it does weigh. The one upstairs is similar, though not quite the same model, and a quick hoick suggested that it weighed about the same. So I plonked the bathroom scales next to it, and hoicked it on there. 21 kg, or thereabouts. About 46lbs. That's quite a lot for a one-hand lift. It's also slightly less than the amount of weight I've lost. No wonder I was feeling a bit "plod" rather than "bounce", carrying that lot around! There's potentially at least as much as that still to go, too, so I'll be even more bouncy! Is the world ready for this?
