Sorry, the box spring won't fit in the elevator

We moved in yesterday, which turned out to require a crane. Folks here are clearly quickly adaptable. They discovered our queen size box spring would not fit in the elevator. The seven story stairwell had too many too tight turns. The leader for this project was called, arrived within 1/2 an hour and had a crane on site in about another 20 minutes.

This is looking off the living room balcony. The orange square in the center is the crane. There's a motor scooter to the right for scale. The white oblong rectangle next to the building is the box spring.

What impressed me - besides the fact that they had unloaded and unpacked in less than 4 hours, was that someone could say, "I think we need a crane, I'll check with the boss." The boss shows up, looks around and orders a crane. Boss comes and fills us in and then helps unpack. Crane arrives 1/2 hour later and within minutes, box spring is in bedroom.

Trying to imagine how long that would take to organize in San Jose.
