Mission Impossible

This evening's mission was to dismantle a bed for Mrs J so that it could be moved downstairs.

After clearing the bed and finding the tools, we set to work. At first we thought our inability to tell left from right was interfering with loosening the screws on the bed frame, but we soon realised that we didn’t quite have the right tools needed to complete the job. As an added challenge, some of the fittings had worn away, making it difficult to retain traction when turning the screwdrivers.

After 30 minutes of battling, we realised it wasn’t going to be possible. We took some quick measurements to determine whether or not we could manoeuvre the bed downstairs without having taken it apart but unfortunately the frame was too wide and too high.

Mrs J was grateful for our time, even though we didn’t complete the mission. We had a chat with her and learned some interesting things - she’s lived in the area for 40 years!

We’ve fedback to the GoodGym office so that it can be arranged for someone with a complete toolset to go around and help Mrs J out so that she can be comfortable and safe in her own home.
