Anyone got any bright ideas on how to wrestle a 160kg bath into the house between me and the wench?

 

No level threshold so have to hoof it up and down over the damn doorstep, then pish the damn thing into the house! This is going to be a worse task than trying to lift and fit an 80kg velux 3m into the air between us - missus only weighs 50kg so as you can imagine, it was a bitch....and we had two of em!

 

So, suggestions on the bath...roll it in somehow? Wary of damaging it - any suggestions are welcome.

110mm underground drainage pipes make excellent rollers...

Get all your mates around and grease their palms.  4 good strong blokes should be able to lift that.

 

You want it to arrive un damaged.

I'm with Dave. 

 

Get some mates round...always better to ask for help!

can you take the glass unit out of a window to pass it through ?

It’s going to end badly if you try and do it with just you and the missus.

 

time to call in reinforcements for

Your  own health and the finish of the bath, walls etc

Buy some casters and build a wheeled dolly? Use timber levers to get it over the threshold?

Does it need to go up stairs?

:... grease their palms..." after they have done the job, otherwise the bath might slip out of their hands
