Bed Matters
Sometimes a man has to step up and do what a man got to do. So yesterday when I and my wife found that our bed was broken, I stepped up and did what's need to be done. I went to the living room and watched TV.
Well it's because that's what I usually did a few months back when I only rented a room. The landlords usually handled the problem and I just needed to inform them. But now that I rented my own whole flat, there is nobody else to inform and fix the furniture, which means I could not just sit there and do nothing.
So I went back to the bedroom and looked at the bed with intense attention. That's what I see all repairmen do before they start working. They looked at the broken thing as if it's a nuclear bomb about to explode. But then they actually found out what the problem was and worked on it, whereas I just continued staring at the bed, and the only thing in my mind was, "Should I have a second lunch?"
The problem with the bed was that one side of the bed was tilting inside despite the fact that all the screws were intact. So after I could not find out what the problem was, I did another thing that professional repairmen always do in this situation. I took a long coffee break.
But before I went out I found that the tilting side was actually installed lower than the other sides. Well, it's hard to explain it here, especially since you are also not that interested. But let's just say that I found what the problem was, or at least I thought so.
So I decided to fix it right away. Unfortunately I needed to lift and turn the heavy bed to fixthe problem. That's when I called my wife.
No, of course I did not ask her to do the lifting for me. But I needed some help to stuck something under the bed to make all the sides even, while I lifted the heavy bed.
After all the sweats and effort, I can finally say that, well, it's still not perfectly fixed, but at least it would hold. And the next time it happens again, now that I have had the experience, I know what to do. I am going to call my previous landlord.
