Fold Your Box Spring

By Matthew Yglesias
Kay Steiger had some difficulty fitting her box spring up her staircase and found some instructions about how to cut it and reassemble it. I actually had a similar problem with my own box spring when moving into our current abode. Kriston and I were, however, able to solve the dilemma with the following technique:
  1. Try for a while, fail, and give up.
  2. Finish moving the other stuff with the help of your friends.
  3. Enjoy post-moving beers with friends.
  4. Watch friends leave.
  5. Enjoy a couple more beers.
  6. Try again, this time pushing really hard.
Our way sounds more fun.
