The washing machine was delivered this morning. Two burley guys knocked at the door gasping for breath, checking if it was the correct address. To their disappointment I confirmed it was, and I showed them where it had to go. Off they went back to the van to get the appliance. I could hear them staggering up the slope, it is the second part pathway that gets you. It turns ninety degrees and the angle increases, so the calf muscles really take the strain. They then had to navigate the first of the steps, the real killers. The machine is heavy as it is a washer and dryer, but they made it to the front door. Up some more steps and through the lounge, the finish line was now in sight. Up a couple more steps, and they reached the utility space where they set it down. A quick lesson in how to remove the transit bolts and they were off, no doubt cursing me and my location, but they certainly were quicker on the way back.
