Fun With Pete

So what happens when you build a 17' long kayak in your living room on the 9th floor of an apartment building out of which you're about to move? Um, you need to find a way to move it out of the apartment. Stairs won't work. The freight elevator won't work (and don't even think about the passenger elevator!). That would seem to leave you with...the balcony.

This is a pictorial of the removal of Pete's kayak from his living room. For those who wonder, no, we didn't ask building management before we started. 'tis easier to receive forgiveness than permission.

Much to our amazement, the cops were not called...or if they were, they arrived after we'd run off, having completed our mission.
