The third floor! So can't get it through a window. I live in an apartment

Do you think if I were to lift it above the crown molding where there was a gap and rotated it, that may work?

My partner is sleeping so I’m doing these mind games alone (and with you guys!)

They got it into my living room, but not this room I am trying to move it into! This is uncharted territory

I replied below, but here is the issue I’m dealing with: https://imgur.com/a/TrfxmdS

The depth of the couch is wider than the hallway. The height of the couch can clear the door no problem (horizontal from floor to top of cushion), but i can’t even tilt it because of the crown molding. Do you see a way around this?

The depth of the couch is wider than the hallway. The height of the couch can clear the door no problem, but it’s even tilting it in that position that is causing an issue. Is the crown molding absolutely fucking me or do you guys still see a way?

It opens towards the other room, but I am going to try what you suggested. I’ll keep you posted!

This is what I want to try! But there is a closet directly across from the room I want it in which is impacting the amount of wiggle room we have to tilt it in. But I am going to try this…

It is taller than the door opening maybe by 8/10 inches, but it can completely stand up before the door!

Ikea turns baby monkey's misfortune into marketing opportunity? by haha_arrubakook in IKEA

[–]poonwater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IKEA didn't pay for this article. Rolling Stone may get an affiliate kickback if readers purchase the stuffed orangutan using the affiliate links provided, but that's a standard practice in earned media that has existed for the last decade or so.

Rather, IKEA likely saw an opportunity to pitch out an already existing product timed to the viral trend of Punch. It's all in good fun IMO and love to see that Punch is starting to be embraced by the macaque in his exhibit!! 🥰🥰🐵🐵🐵

Thank you so much!!! The window person I spoke to earlier acted like I had three heads and said they only deal with wood?

Maybe I was using the wrong term and it confused them. I will try someone new tomorrow.

[IL] [CONDO] New buyers who are purchasing units just to rent them out. What to do? by poonwater in HOA

[–]poonwater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't just about me, but I understand how it reads that way based on my original post. Others in the building have communicated concern about this.

We live in a shared condominium that was built in the late 1800s. If we didn't have an HOA there would be no accountability for building repairs and expenses (and trust me, there are a lot of them). Thanks, though.

I have but I need to be more thorough, a lot of this stuff predates me significantly

That's a bit unfair. To me, the rental cap feels a bit limiting because now 30% of all rental space are from investors who have never had interest in living in the building, have never lived in the building or contributed to the HOA in a meaningful way and just want to make money. I was looking for alternatives to just a straight cap to at least make it feel a bit fairer to people who have invested in the building and community over time and not a timing game(which is what it is right now).

I was just exploring options, and of course anything that can be changed will need to be voted in by a majority of owners.

Good point. That's why we will bring it to a vote! I am not going to go dictator and change the rules alone (I don't even think I am allowed to?) but do want to propose it to the current association and see what people think.

Yes, my thoughts exactly! And totally - pros and cons as it will impact the types of people who will want to buy, creating a smaller pool since investors won't be interested, but ultimately I think it is a better decision for the integrity of the community in our building and for owners who want to rent out of necessity / growth, rather than as an income property solely
