Yesterday I visited the storage locker, something I haven't been doing much of since the excellent surgery event. There's a fatally injured boxspring right in the middle of the space that I have wrestled with for the last time. Its days are numbered in the single digits.
It is either going to be pried into two separate halves with a tire iron or removed as is, depending upon muscle capacity, and then set out with the rest of the building's garbage over here on Parkdale Monday Sunday night. [Corrected August 20: I am having trouble this week with the days of the week concept. Sheesh.]
It is still in one piece so it tends to try to open back up but is bent enough that it gets to about a 90° angle at most. Quiet hilarious, but it gets old fast when you're trying to move boxes past it.
I am impaired still in my lifting and bashing abilities so if anyone in Ottawa is reading this space and would be able to help me put the thing out of its misery and onto the top of the Jeep I would be grateful for that. It shouldn't take more than a half hour of your time, probably less. The storage locker is accessible 24/7 and is located at Catherine & Bronson (just to the right of the off ramp for the Westbound Queensway).
You can even have souvenir pictures of the now foldable item, if you wish. I'm going to start holding my breath ... now.
