Questions & AnswersHi, this is Grady Johnson and I'm a professional painter and today I represent Expert Village.com. Well, we cleared off all the walls to get them ready to go. Now, the next stage of preparation is moving the furniture. Whenever you're moving furniture always move with your legs and go slowly. If you move slowly you're not going to make a mistake and damage something or yourself. So, the first thing you want to do is go ahead and get this rug out of here. We're going to roll that up, and you just want to roll that up, just give it a flip and turn it and zip it on up and roll it on up out of the way. Then we're just going to slide that up underneath our table. Alright, that's out of the way. Now we're going to go ahead and start with these electronics. Now you see I've taken all the speakers and all the wires that are accumulated with this and I've pulled them all into one bunch and I'm just going to slide all that in away from the wall. I don't want to move it much because it's a lot of wires. I'm just going to start moving it gingerly, go real slow with this, you don't want to pull any wires and once it gets tight you want to switch over to the other side. When you get over here, this is a little heavier, so move this a little bit at a time one side at a time. And this is what you do, I move that side over and now I move this side up to meet it and I walk it over. Now what we're doing is we're walking it, now what that is is you move one side up and the other side to meet it, then you move the other side a little further up and meet that and you just walk it into the center that way. Once you get that up where you want it, be careful, these floors are awfully uneven, go ahead and pull the other side up to meet it. Alright, now we got a really good distance from the wall and we've got plenty of room, now we're going to move those wires in place. Just be sure it's level so it doesn't get knocked over accidentally. Okay, now we've got that all pulled out from the wall we can go ahead and start working on our couches. So, let's get this chair out of the way first, it'll go right here in the center of the room. And we're going to go ahead and pull this couch on over and we'll grab the other side to meet it. There we go. Now if something is really, really heavy you might want to get a little help. Also, if it's real tall be careful, you don't want something falling down on you like a bookshelf or something like that. Go slow when you're moving, use your legs, and be careful of things that are over your head and you shouldn't have any problem. But this is how you move all the furniture and get it into the center of the room to prepare for painting your living room.
