Destructible- How to Disassemble a Couch

This was made possible by TechShop Menlo Park. http://www.techshop.com

I had a huge heavy duty couch and was not able to get it out of my house since a new fence was installed. Luckily my fellow TechShop friends not only know that anything that is assembled can be disassembled but have fierce determination, strength and a sledge hammer. 

We removed everything off the couch to get to the bare structure and flipped it on its back support.

We ripped the fabric covering the bottom and revealing the springs and wooden structure.

With a sledge hammer and brute force we broke the wooden frame.

Once the supports were disassembled we used gravity and our body weight to rip the pieces of the couch apart. 

The couch, now in parts was easily carried out into the truck bed and traveled to the dump for proper removal.

I knew I was messy but never grasped the severity of my slobishness. Yaiks!

I wondered what a couch used and unmoved for 8 years would spit out. All I got was several lighters and a handful of change. :(
