A number of years back I bought a couch from my brother. I promptly took off on a trip on which I managed to badly break my foot so he ended up dumping the thing at my house and it sat in my garage for months.

Once I was mobile again, I realized it was a tight fit and the sofa wasn't actually symmetrical. Fortunately, it was asymmetrical in the right way for the room but I had a momentary panic.

I also have to say that I just love how businesses get created to deal with especially largely localized problems and do a really good job at it. Even at a national level, I met with a specialist company yesterday to do something in my house and it was very refreshing.
