[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I physically can’t carry the stuff down the narrow little ladder. [/quote]

Wait--why exactly can't you physically carry stuff down the narrow little ladder? Pretty sure none of this stuff weighs 60+ pounds so unless you have some kind of serious physical limitation I'll bet anything you are as physically capable of this task as he is. Or is he just that much taller than you? Why not make this a team effort anyway and you BOTH haul the stuff down? Safer anyway than one person hauling anything down a ladder. And as for the tree, much easier if one can push it down through the opening with a second below to receive it. So, like, go pull the ladder down and say "Larlo, I need a hand here". [/quote]

Most of the items are in huge tupperware bins that are hard for me to handle especially climbing up and down. He's 6'3, I am 5'2. [/quote]

I’m with the PP. why can’t you handle these things? It will be harder for a 6’3” person to navigate narrow stairs than a 5’2” person, and there’s no reason to think a shorter person is less able to carry the average Tupperware bin worth of stuff. I’m certainly willing to believe your DH is annoying, but this scenario makes me really wonder about your relationship and methods. You've really asked him 50 times to do something and not considered an alternative way to address the problem?[/quote]

As a 5.0 ft person- it IS hard to carry those bin down from an attic. I'm strong but my arms are not long and it's really easy to lose grip on those and have it go flying down the ladder and crash (trust me on this!) I also have a dh who puts things up in the attic that I need and have to 'ask' him to get. I hate that!

OP-tell him 'tonight, before I serve dinner, I need the tree down from the attic". Then don't serve dinner until it's done! That usually works for my dh, he's food motivated lol.[/quote]
