Video: This could be the greatest way of moving a couch from the balcony of a three storey house ever

We're expecting a host of similar failed attempts now...

We’re expecting a host of similar failed attempts now…

We’ve all had the painful and tiring experience of moving homes or furniture before but sometimes it can be a fun and educational process also.

Who doesn’t like playing with bubble wrap, hiding in cardboard boxes or building a little fort? Maybe that’s just us.

As you all know, the hardest part of any move is always getting the furniture out the front door in one piece and this task is even harder if you live three stories up.

These lads in the US, using just cables and a pulley system, may have just perfected the art of lowering a couch down from a three storey balcony.

Take a look at this video but please don’t try this at home unless you have 1) industrial strength steel cable, 2) some strong mates or 3) a very good understanding of engineering, construction or couches.
