Treadmill

With our garage finally cleaned out, we went over to our friend’s house to pick up the treadmill. I wish I could say that the task was a simple one.

After hooking up the trailer to the Blazer, we drove to our friend’s house. This part was rather uncomplicated. Getting the treadmill down a staircase that seemed to have more twists and turns than the Terwilleger Curves was quite a feat. Fortunately the treadmill had a couple things that made the task slightly easier; it had wheels and it folded up.

With me going backwards and my partner on the opposite end, we brought the treadmill down one step at a time. More amazingly, we did so without popping out any of the spindles of the staircase rail or putting any holes in the wall. However, I can’t say that we didn’t almost pop out a whole section of spindles or nearly take out a section of wall. Once loaded into the trailer, we thanked our friend and made our way back home.

All set up in the garage, we both tried it out and just for kicks decided to see if our dog could be “walked” on it. Let’s just say she wanted nothing to do with this contraption and did everything she could to get away from it. Quite amusing, to say the least. However, it is here now, so that is one more thing off of this summer’s to-do list.
