Fitting a sofa through a doorway 2010-04-06
From Yvonne:
Hi, I would be most grateful if you could help me, because I have no idea how to work this out! I am moving from a house to a flat, and the doors in the flat are 70 cm wide. I have a sofa 88 x 88 x 215. Will it go through the door if we tip it sideways at an angle?

Thanks, Yvonne Beck

How much space we are talking about when they say 500 cf? 2007-09-11
From Rhonda:
I was informed while planning a move that the moving company will allow 500 cubic feet of moving space. Anything over that is $5.99 per cf. How do I find out exactly how much space we are talking about when they say 500 cf ?? Thank-you in advance for the advice.
