Inst that how everyone does it?

No, not everyone builds a sturdy support ramp to lay over the stairs and an elaborate crank and pulley system. Everyone just has one or two other people help lift it.

And after all that trouble, she'll use it for a week and never touch it again.

Ain't that the truth right there.

I was waiting for them to find out that the weight of it and 2 people exceeded the structural limit of the deck, resulting in a major "Ooops!"

Plus I was thinking he needs some friends. Could have had that thing up the stairs in the time it took to watch the damn video!

Indeed. This is what you call over-engineering.

The kind of guy who would build a flamethrower to toast some bread.

..or just call a moving company and offer them 20 buck to push it up...

Jeeze I am am engineer myself, and I would never design such a Rube Goldberg device.

Sometimes it is just FUN to do these things. Not everything has to be fastest or easiest or even make sense..
