Seriously ... you find a need for 5 inch tabs often enough to buy some?

I have never had any ... but was sitting here trying to imagine when I might need them ... and can't.

If you ever bent over and moved a piece of furniture you might find a use for them.

Who moves furniture anymore?.....Train your clients.


Open areas only....Maaaaaaybe a sofa moved if needed.

I don't even let them move stuff around for me.

Moved out before I get there or it isn't moving.....for the most part....I mean, I'm not an asshole or anything about it. !dork!

I'm short enough to see why I'd need them, Marty is too afraid his hair piece will fall off, and get sucked up into the vac hose. :mrgreen:

No hair piece here ... buz cut. Anyway, back to the point, I understand the use of degrading humor to deflect the conversation away from an area you may be unable to argue, and it was funny to boot, but my point is that usually when the leg or contact point of a piece of furniture is large enough to need a 5 inch tab, it is usually heavy enough that using a block is faster and easier on your back ... even when using a lift buddy. (If you don't have a lift buddy, get one.) I think this may be the reason you are having a hard time finding a source for 5 inch tabs.

Have a 1/4 sheet of builder sytrofoam on the truck and I just cut larger blocks if needed,

I agree if a leg is that big it needs a block or/and ventilation.

You carry bulk foam and cut as you go?

I found the 5 X 5's.

Maybe it is our area but we get a lot of bedroom furniture that has approx 4 inch L shaped legs
that you need to be precise with a 4 inch tab. And some of the L shaped legs do not do well on blocks.

I prefer to use a 5 inch clear tab for a little extra protection and so no one has to bust a gut lifting it AGAIN to remove a unsightly block.
With a clear tab no one is going to see it.

I could call all you guys (Brian) HACKS that don't move furniture but won't. To each his own.
We give the customer whatever they want. If they want every stick of furniture moved we oblige and are compensated for it.

L shape may need 2 blocks on each leg. You can carry a roll of Satan wrap or wax paper also. I don't get carrying Styrofoam and sawing blocks to size, just use more blocks.

Ooops....I meant Saran wrap. Freudian slip, my wife was trying to talk to me at the same time I was typing.

Its hard to take you seriously and I hate admitting when you're right, but I do agree.

Brian, why are you attacking us for moving furniture? Anybody can clean open areas or have customers move furniture first but why would you want to limit yourself? Heck even stanley steemer moves furniture. I would lose about 25% of my customers if I quit moving furniture.

On a second note why not? Lift buddy and sliders and I can move an entire livingroom in 5 minutes. I don't move entertainment centers or excessivly heavy items like china hutches, but everything else.

Stickys stick together really well.....make them in the size you need :roll:

You're absolutely right Willy- I've done this before and was able to get any size I wanted.
