Don't you hate it when your new racing cabinet is too big for the door :)

That is exactly the way I would do it, if my door frame were 1 inch wider :)

Two years ago we bought a new couch for my wife's upstairs office. Her brother, dad, and I lugged the thing up the steps, but no matter what wwe tried, there was just no conceivable way to get it around the corner into the office...about 1" too big as well.
The counch was an incredible deal with no return, and she loved it.
Solution? I ended up cutting a huge chunk of the wall out (basically cut a new doorway in the wall), cut the the studs out, carried in the couch, then rebuilt the wall. Even paying the sheetrock guy to remud (something I just can't get the hang of, no matter how much remodelling I've done), the couch was still a deal.
We know we're going to have to take that B%#$h out in pieces when she finally wants it gone.

 :cheers: I feel for you. I've done that as well, but it was a bed. The box frame would not fit upstairs no matter how I tried. I completely uninstalled the railing system on the stairs (Was gonna replace anyway) and it still wouldn't fit. Then I cut a hole in the wall to make it around the corner. At that point I made it further up the stairs, but it still wouldn't fit through the archway at the top of the stairs. At that point I grabbed my recip. saw, opened the box frame, and cut the boxframe supports to collapse the entire frame. When it was upstairs, I mended the frame, then patched the wall and replaced the railing. I was cussing that day, but at least that   :censored: bed didn't win in the end.  :lol

Oh, and I totally agree about mudding drywall. it sucks.

DLinkOZ:
Wow, so this thread is highlighting one very clear fact - I'm much lazier than my fellow arcade enthusiast!

Vigo:
 :lol I'm lazy too, but I'm also too stubborn, too cheap and too arrogant to not force that bed boxframe up my stairs no matter what I had to chop to pieces.
