Couch?

ok, I moved this weekend. That's fine, I have all my stuff moved, everything is getting into places, it's all cool. Except one thing.

The couch my roommate gave me.

Now a bit of explination may be in order.
1) I own (and moved) in a Honda Civic, with help from a couple friends, who own an even smaller car.
2) Unlike the rest of my furnature, te couch does not disassemble into convenient (read, fir into my car) pieces.
3) the total length of the move is 13 blocks, roughly 1 mile total.

... HOW do I move this couch? It seems a bit far to carry it along sidewalks, I know noone in town with a van or pickup truck. And my old appartment place is saying they "might" (read will) "have to" (read they're money grubbing bast...) charge me if I leave the couch there. Wonderful.

Mind you, I'm not horribly attacked to this couch. It'll fit in my new studio, but I don't often have others over, so it's really not needed. Any suggestions what I shuld do?

PS I have to do SOMETHING by th eend of th e31st, that's when my lease is up.

well, what kind of roads are we talking? if they are residential side roads you will likely be able to get away with straping it to the roof and go really slow with your 4 way flashers on.

semi-residential roads. I live(d) right in downtown Salt Lake City. less then 9 blocks (direct distance) from the Mormon Temple. so while the roads are "residential", they're still multilane, and semi bisy even not rush hour time.

But I managed to find a solution anyway. When I was removing th elast of my stuff I met some guys that wanted the couch. So now they and their friends have it, and it's not my worry anymore. Yay!
