Handyman

Moving into a new house provides many opportunities for handyman skills. I have replaced door handles, put in better shower heads, taken down an old Dish network dish, etc. Here's the oddest skill that I used over the past little bit: cutting a box spring in half to get it into the basement. The stairs to the basement go halfway down and then turn 180 degrees. Measurement of the landing halfway down: 78". Length of bed: 79" (and yes, I tried to turn the bed the other way, but it was too tall). I got the idea of cutting the box springs in half from a friend of Becca's (here). It actually worked out really well using a marker, razor, and jigsaw. Courtney headed to Fort Collins for a few days before heading back to SLC for school (and too watch the Sugar Bowl with another Ute fan). So far, the bed hasn't tacoed her.
