04-08-2025 -- With gain comes pain

Howdy all. I couldn’t let a sore backside from stopping progress. That Air Purifier had to get out of the Living Room.

Sure, it is a big box weighing 56 pounds. Butt, I’m bigger than that, and I get up the stairs.

Thus, up the stairs it went. Slow and steady, it wasn’t a race. One or two stairs at a time.

Empty box is in the hallway waiting to go down. Bambu Lab does a great job of using long straps around the unit, that “velcro” together. Makes pulling the purifier out of the box fairly easy. Other than I am lifting 56 pounds straight up and almost to my waist.

Assembly is quick. Just remove plastic coverings from the 5 filter cartridges and from the glass door, plug a few things in, and.. .

It is on and ready to connect to the laser. You might see a tiny blue light on the top towards the right. That is the power LED.

I did all that without any real issues. However, when I took the empty box out to the garage to get it in the trash can, I did twist once causing a meaningful twinge out of the backside. I stopped for the day. Tomorrow I have to get that laser upstairs. It weighs a tad more and the box is even bigger.

The box is 37 inches tall by 25 inches wide by 16 inches deep — as you see it. But it is on its side. And weighs right around 70 pounds. Hey, that’s only 15 pounds more than the air purifier. Should be easy peasy.

Watch for tomorrow’s blog to see if, that after I lug this puppy upstairs, I still even have a back and can Enjoy Life.
