Bleg: Carpet hauling
If someone in the Tulsa area with a pickup wants to make a few bucks, we have a carpet that needs hauling off.
We're pulling the carpet out of the kids' rooms. We donated the carpet and pad from one room to Habitat for Humanity's ReSTORE. It was in pretty good shape -- no pets or smokers in our house -- and we'd planned to do the same with the carpet from the second, bigger room, but we don't have anything big enough to haul it in. Habitat can pick it up -- on November 12th. We called the H.O.W. Foundation. They'll do the job, for pay -- on November 1st.
If you can bring the truck, we can help you load the truck and will lead you over to the ReSTORE, just a few miles from our house, to help unload it. We'd like to get this done today before 4, if possible, otherwise we have to wait until Wednesday when the ReSTORE is open again.
The carpet is rolled and tied up, 13' 3" long, and about 18" in diameter.
Feel free to post a bid in a comment, or e-mail me at blog at batesline dot com, if you want the job. If you've got an alternative suggestion for disposing of the carpet, that would be welcome, too. (Polite suggestions only, please.)
UPDATE: Someone doing tree work across the street had a big trailer and was able to take the carpet for us.
Place the rolled carpet on the roof of a car,
with its centerline toward one side or the other.
The car roof will easily carry the load. String
wrapped around an end can be tied either to the bumper or to the standoff for the bumper. Tie
one end to the front bumper and the other to the rear. No need for pickup.
