1. How to move a refrigerator
By Lexi Comet and Reese Cook

2. What’s our problem?
Our crazy boss is afraid of wheels and we need to figure out how to move our refrigerator without it getting damaged by eliminating friction.
The friction is causing all the damage, so we need to figure out how to reduce it.

4. Our Invention
We decided to smooth the surface by putting down a small cloth under the refrigerator in order to reduce friction and to have less damages.

5. In this picture, you can see that we put a small piece of cloth underneath the brick to reduce friction.

10. End Results
The cloth under the refrigerator works without any problems.
There are no damages and we can get it to its destination in one piece.
