Ya gotta give him props.
Today Mr S and I needed to dispose of a sofa. You pretty much can't get charities to take them anymore, so we decided to use chop it up instead of taking it to the dump.
I've done this once before but Mr S. wanted to watch videos to see how hard it was. That's when he landed on this guy's video - and there is just something I love about a "can do spirit". His choice of tools? A bread knife, hand saw, a rolling pin and some beer.
Of course it did take him all day - but the guy actually did it!
My attempt was not as fun as I chose a sawzall, and it only took about an hour. And I didn't chose any beer because really - you can't lose any fingers with a bread knife and a rolling pin. You can lose more than a finger with a sawzall and beer.
Everything except the arm rests are in my trash bin. You can't believe how compactly they chop up. And it always fun to destroy something without having to have a plan to rebuild it.

That is not a beer, that is a Scrumpy Jack, a 500 ml alcoholic cider beverage that is a potent destroyer of the English ...
ReplyDeleteAnd he drinks it like he's a tech nerd slamming down Mountain Dew. :-)
Ah... well you made this not fun. I sort of liked the alcoholic fever dream of taking a couch apart that way. Now it's just sad. I've never heard of that stuff before.
ReplyDeleteCompare and contrast time then!
ReplyDeleteMiller Lite: 4.2% alcohol by volume, comes in 355 ml (12 ounce) cans.
Scrumpy Jack: 6.0% alcohol by volume, comes in 500 ml (16.9 ounce) cans.
(One can has 50% more alcohol in it than a 50 ml "airplane bottle" of whiskey.)
For the discerning alcoholic: 3 cans of Scrumpy Jack > 6 cans of Miller Lite.
The next time you want to tear apart a sofa, drink about four cans of alcoholic cider first so you can make a video like this guy did.
It'll be hilarious. :-)
