Sawzall

It is big. Heavy. In the basement.  Just your average Hide-A-Bed.

It's gotta go. Next stop: the dump.

Getting it down there involved removing the door at the stop of the stairs and - if memory serves - a lot of energetic shoving down a narrow stair case.

Not looking forward to this.

Inspiration: courtesy of a dear friend, I have use of a Sawzall.

Funnest thing I've done all day.  I gotta get me one of those.

Also: with the metal bits sawed loose of the frame, I've got a nice chunk of metal for the salvage yard.
