This is really funny, because I've tried similar things with my hubby...
so, if he's anything like mine I'll say it won't come down.
However, I have found that it's just a matter of him
really not noticing...Seriously, we bought a new dishwasher once. When it got delivered the guy left it in the foyer in front of the stairs that we use many times, every day. I left it there. I did not say a word. We had to turn SIDEWAYS just to get to the bottom step.
A week later, I say..."so, when do you think you'll install that dishwasher?"
He says, deadly serious: "What dishwasher?"
However, I have found that if
I ask him to do it he'll do almost anything. He just really doesn't notice things on his own. So, it's kinda unfair to wait around, getting annoyed until he figures it out!
Good luck though. I'm curious to see how your little experiment goes.
