CLEVERNESTER nailed it. Unless it will fit through the elevator door standing on its end, you will need to have enough clearance to stand it up in the elevator, which involves the diagonal measurement.

There is a funny Douglas Adams novel which includes a sofa getting stuck in a stairwell during time travel. But that won't help you.....

I thought the headline read "Camille's Beaming Bright Smile." Don't know why!

#1 New toilet seat. A must! Throw the old one away and leave the new one.
#2 Shower head. I like having a hand held shower massage.
#3 I had a nice kitchen faucet I picked up on a 80% clearance. I moved that from apartment to apartment. It is now in my condo.

Sure landlords take a financial risk when they buy property to rent, and part of that risk is having to follow the laws, which include rent control. If they do not want to follow the laws, they should not buy property. The rent control law may be able to be improved upon, but I get so freaking tired of people "buying houses near the airport and then complaining about noise."

Where do you put your bikes?

Kind of cool! I think it would be more interesting as a hotel.

That would be a great place for an updated, stylish wet bar!

And when you want to get really fancy:

Netflix for me. I quit Hulu when they limited shows to the last 5. I like watching a show's run from start to finish.

I watch a few shows on broadcast, and a few from cable channel websites. I get track & Field and Bike Racing from Universal Sports, which comes via broadcast under the local NBC channel. Hopefully other cable channels will start making use all the additional channel space on broadcast digital.

I moved into one place where the litter box had been kept in a closet in the bathroom. Stunk to high heaven. landlord finally had to remove the floor, completely seal, prime and paint the closet, and put down new floor. We were demanding another apartment if it did not work.

I left another place because the carpet stank of cat piss. The manager kept saying the people did not have a cat, but the neighbors said they did. I wanted new carpet, and they refused. I packed up and left, and lost a very small deposit. They suddenly offered new carpet, but it was too late. The manager threatened to sue for breaking the lease and I told her if she did I would sue the living s%$t out of everybody. And I also threatened to do that if anything was reported to any credit agency. The let it go.

I am more concerned about landlords than physical issues. They can really make you miserable.

I love the crisp lines of tape, and use an artist's brush to quickly touch up any bleed through. I usually paint the walls first and slop over onto the trim. Then I tape the walls, and paint the trim, removing the tape before the paint completely dries. Then I use the artist's brush to touch up any place the trim paint bled under the tape.
