Will trade for muscles
 

Zoos maybe ? :confused: :biggrin:

Seems IA is not sending three guys as promised, just two, so with Barry that will be three. Sounds ugly for a 230g tank.

They are coming Sat around 3:30PM.

Anyone able to help out? :neutral:

Only three would be pushing it to safely move that.

Good to know Brad....you gonna leave now.... :razz: :lol:

you meen it is going to take more than just me and you to move my 280 when it comes? :eek:

Steve

Right after dinner, but it's a long swim and then a longer walk! Could be a while :razz:

Pay for the ferry and I'll be there :biggrin:

I would be there Deb but I am at work tommorow. Sorry. :cry:

Thanks anyway guys.

Jon, they delivered yours. How did that go?

Marty, I can't recall which ferry you take to get from Surrey to Calgary..... :razz:

lol, I was gonna say $40...sold
hehe

Too bad your house is a Bobfree zone OR I might have offered my assistance :sad:

Went good. They sent a fellow named "Doug" (longer haired guy) who knew exactally what they were doing.
I had a guy from my work come and help out.
All I remember is taking the tank out of the van and thinking "Dam this this is Frikking HEAVY" I was scared :biggrin:

Went well though.

Bob, Barry said he didn't want you having a heart attack here.

:mrgreen:

So you did it with three then Jon?

Deb how did your IA experience go anyways? People are still complaining on RC as usual, I'm wondering if he gives Canadians special treatment.

Whoops, I looked at where Brad lived not Emily :redface: Would need a lot of goverment workers paddling to get those old ferries over the mountains :smile:

I can help out. See you at 3:30

He complains bitterly that those US people need a life.... :lol:

I expected a bit of a delay on delivery, not a hassle for me. He spent a lot of time with us in the shop, so I'd say yah, he was kind to the locals, as it should be...

:razz:

WHOA....thanks Tony ! :eek:

I'm a government worker....we don't paddle no damn boats over no damn mountains! Union rules ! :lol:

Deb - I'll call you tomorrow afternoon, K? It's close enough to 4:00...

:cool:

3 would be impossible for the average size persons. There were 4 of us and it was quite a haul. We took 4 brakes and it took us 30 minutes to get it from the driveway to the basement in the tank room. :rolleyes:

Have fun :razz:

I wouldn't sweat it BOB. After having to do it once, I never want to move my 230 again. Especailly up or down stairs. :confused: It SUCKED!

Haha, don't thank me now, thank me when it's time for me to move my 2 ... ooops I mean 3 tanks to our new house (not 'til April though so there's time to come up with creative excuses! ... oops I mean "plenty of time to block off your calendar.")

No seriously it beats getting my house ready for sale... Did I ever mention I have "work avoidance issues" ... ??

I'll try to be there by 3:30 or so. Better get the vitamin-I (Ibuprofen) ready, or the vitamin-B-liquid (mmmm beer) for the back-aches to follow after... :mrgreen:

np Tony..did I mention a clam as payment.... :mrgreen: :razz:

The last time I moved a 230 into my basement I rented suction cups. They really helped and we were able to move it with only two of us. That sucker was so heavy that it is still there in my last house.

Do you want more help? I'll split the clam with Tony :neutral:

Kari

I will actually be here waiting for Sears to deliver my new recliner/swivel rocker. Then I will recline and rock, and sip a recreational beverage while you work.
:smilecol: :smilecol: :multi:

Thanks Tony and Alan :biggrin:

See below.....

Inviting ideas on the mystery sump? :mrgreen:

OK, what's a .ctf file?

winrar or winzip doesn't open it

.ctf is................ "MGI PhotoSuite 1.0/8.0 Album File "

So we need that program, or a different file

crud.. :evil:

ok this seems so primitive but this is the directory....


I can't remember how I did it before....before the alzheimers....what was your question again ?

:confused:

Looking GREAT Deb!

Are you happy with the tank, CRAZY sump and stand?

so it's 6ft by 30" wide and 24" tall? :cool:

That's right Jonny, it's yours laid on its side. Pretty neat, and not as heavy as you described it.
:biggrin:

Well Alan. Have you looked in the mirror latley? You got muscles man! :razz:

Mine must have been heavier :rolleyes:

Yeah, I saw that pic of me and Barry showing our huge "muscles" to the camera as the tank came up the steps out of the garage...

BTW, does yours have 3/4" euro-bracing? that's gotta be another 200 lbs easy...

:wink:

Looking good Deb. Can't wait to see pic of it full. Can't wait to post pics of a certain 155 bowfront. I've added VHO, painted the stand and back of the tank and have been waiting of other goodies. Enough about that though I can wait to see everything finished. :biggrin: :mrgreen:

Keith

Looks awesome Em!!! :cool: I was gonna send you some mussels but I suppose I'm too late :razz:

C:)

Yes Alan, it had 3/4" eurobracing :biggrin:

Keith, I can't WAIT to see the 155g. We are always walking over there to top off and it's not there.... :confused:

:razz: Christy...your clam is wrinkled...heheheh

:eek:

OK Deb I'm here, do I win a prize for heading to the east side of the board, perhaps a pair of snowshoes would be good :razz:

That tank looks :cool: very very :cool:, so does all that white stuff on the ground around the outside of your house :mrgreen:

So I guess I can hang out awhile and give it a try over here, as we don't get the "wrinkled clam" talk to often on the Vanc. forum :biggrin:

Christy, you should get that looked at :mrgreen: and I have 20/20 vission :biggrin: :razz:

Keep us posted Deb, would like to see lot's more :exclaim:

Oh yeah, and I would have dropped by and given you a hand with the tank, but you didn't post your address Deb :rolleyes: :razz:
