So how far and wide is the power outage? Anyone got any Intel?

Our kitchen is on the second floor, and the interior stairway has a turn where the maximum clearance is only about 34 inches, give or take an inch. The fridge we need to move is a full-size fridge right at about 34 inches wide. We had a really hard time getting a new 30-inch range up that way, so I highly doubt the fridge will fit through the stairs.

We do have a balcony off the kitchen with a door wide enough for the fridge, and the railing could be removed pretty easily. The balcony overlooks our driveway, so access from outside should be straightforward. It is roughly 14 feet off the ground.

What we’re looking for is someone with a forklift, large scissor lift, or similar equipment who can help get the new fridge up to the balcony and remove the old one the same way.

Does anyone know a person or company that handles this kind of job? I’ve called a couple of moving companies, but they don’t do this. Home Depot also doesn’t seem to rent anything large enough for the job.

I just finished voting and wanted to stop by Dollar General for a bag of chips, but I couldn’t safely get across Andrew Jackson because there’s no crosswalk.

The closest safe crossing means walking about 13 minutes down to Oakwood, crossing there, and then walking back. The alternative is trying to cross a road where cars are flying by, which is obviously not safe.

I wanted to spend money at a local-ish business and support economic activity in the area, but the street design makes that unnecessarily difficult for anyone not in a car.

What economic activity are the cars racing down Andrew Jackson providing? Why is it unreasonable to inconvenience drivers for 30 seconds with a crosswalk, but totally acceptable to make pedestrians go 13 minutes out of their way or risk getting hit?

We need a safe crossing here.
