Everyone can remember a furniture piece in their childhood home that was almost a part of the family. Maybe it was the couch you sat on when your parents told you that you were going to be a big sister, the race car bed that you wanted to sleep in forever (but outgrew way too quickly), or the giant table that your entire extended family would gather around on every holiday. For Brittny, that object was a clawfoot tub at her grandmother\u2019s house, which was her sanctuary after spending long days playing outside. When she discovered it and found she could bring it home again, she was thrilled.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how do you get an incredibly heavy (not to mention delicate) vintage clawfoot tub home? For Brittny, there was only way: <\/span>use Dolly<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finding the Right Footing<\/b><\/h2>\n

Brittny found the tub due a peculiar set of circumstances: \u201cI took a friend sightseeing in my grandma\u2019s old, small town [on the Olympic Peninsula]. We drove by her house, which is now being remodeled by the new owner. It looks amazing, and I drove around the block to see the backyard. To my surprise, her old clawfoot tub was sitting in the backyard, covered in a tarp! I immediately wrote the homeowner a note and slipped it inside the front door. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThis was my favorite place as a child,\u2019 I told them. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcIf you\u2019re not going to use the tub in the house, could I have it?\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[A few days later], they said yes! I was elated, thinking about how I\u2019d remodel my tiny bathroom around this magnificent tub. And then I realized I\u2019d have to get it from her old house, three hours away, to where I live now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brittny was able to get a truck from a friend for the six-hour round trip drive, and the new owners helped her lift the tub into the truck. But she knew getting it out of the truck when she got home would be a problem. How was she going to lift a tub, which was hundreds of pounds, all by herself? Brittny put out a call for help on <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a> – and that\u2019s when a friend recommended <\/span>Dolly<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

A Whole Lot of Muscle<\/b><\/h2>\n

Brittny easily booked her Dolly and started the three-hour drive home, excited to start planning her remodel. When she arrived home, and shortly after, her Dolly Helpers joined her. \u201cI had booked two Helpers, and the actually brought a third, in case the tub was too heavy for two. They lifted the tub out of the Explorer, and onto my porch (where it will live until I figure out how to remodel a bathroom!). It only took about five minutes!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brittny\u2019s now looking forward to working on her bathroom remodel, and she\u2019ll certainly use Dolly again. \u201cIf you need help, especially in lifting or moving something that\u2019s too heavy for you, just call Dolly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
