Couch Gets a Lift

The day has finally come. I have installed the new (well, new to me) 8 inch pneumatic casters. I bought the set of 4 of them on eBay for $45 shipped. They are used and were removed from a commercial TV cart that was used at a Church....so, as Mike said, they are Holy Rollers.


I got the 2x6's for free at Home Depot. They were just scrap from larger pieces that were cut for customers. Paul at the Crystal Lake Home Depot hooked me up with 2 perfect pieces. I didn't realize till I got home that one of the pieces had a statement on it. Apparently someone doesn't care for someone named, "Floyd". Sorry Floyd.


So I got the casters mounted and they are really sturdy. The couch may also need to be reinforced. It has a twist to it when it comes in and out of the truck, but I think the casters will help with that. I won't have to wiggle it so much over the cap from tailgate to bed.

So now the couch sits about 4 inches taller than it did yesterday. It also moves like a cloud! You can push it around with one hand.

Well that's it. That is the new look of the couch. It can no longer be entered into the Stock class....I officially own a Modified couch. I wanna see if I can get it into the Guinness Book of World Records with the longest non motorized couch ride.... Oh yeah, Floyd Sux!
