Once Josh had researched to find the right one, we headed to the local Home Depot to pick the bad boy up. This small whale weighed roughly 190 lbs. Dad, it proudly fit into the Vibe.
Josh thought we both could haul it from the parking lot, across the apartment courtyard, and up two flights of stairs. I gave it an honest effort, but alas, "beanpole" couldn't lift it out of the car.
We came up with (inspired by youtube here) something we have called the "HiPschman" using nothing but a car toe-strap and our newlywed hips. Jesse, we thought your engineer mind would be beaming at us.
Check it out.
