Dearest Jo,
I'm a pretty good carpenter. I'm thinking we could widen your doorway and slip that couch right on in. Of course there are some things to be done...
You'll have to buy an oversize door to accomate the wider doorway. You'll have to fly me out to do the work. I'll of course want to make a vacation out of it, so you'll have a houseguest for at least a week. I'll need to sample your world famous cooking everyday. Plus, taking me dancing a few times wouldn't be a bad idea. I 'll also need to be complimented on the wonderful job I've done (positive affirmations). You'll need to take me on a tour of your beautiful city too.
Other than that, I'll be glad to do the work absolutely free
Seriously, I'm sorry this didn't work out for you. I know you were very excited about getting the couch. Would a smaller sleeper be a possibility? I hope you can work something out.
H, L, and K,
Greg
