Need help huffing a tank onto a stand
 

Hi All,

The time has come that I'm ready to have my 280g hoisted onto my stand (and see if it fits, haha, measure once, cut about 12 times :lol: ).

Anyhow, I think 4 guys will be needed to hoist it up, so I need help from maybe 3 guys. No corners or stairs or anything, that hard part was done long ago. The tank sits on the floor right behind the stand, so it should be a simple matter of grunting it up and over a couple feet.

Nevertheless I think I am going to try to rent 4 appliance holder suction cup things because we won't be able to get our fingers under the tank.

So what I'll probably do, is if we can line up some help, I'll try to have the holder things rented beforehand. I don't know if an evening during the week works better or a weekend.

I don't have frags to pay for your help but I'll buy you beer maybe :lol:

Anyone?

PS. I live in Evergreen (SW).

I, and Krazykuch will be down again next weekend. We can help.

I'm in....but generally speaking, Sunday and Thursday nights are bad for me. Let me know :)

OMG its finally happening!! Someone take a camera to record this momentous occasion!!! :razz:

Holy Crap?! After how many years of sitting on the floor - it's gonna be installed? :D

I can come help if needed, not so good for lifting, but I can be that extra set of hands that's usually required... (and run a camera)

I can lend a hand too Tony. Let me know? If nothing else I can lend moral support and stare at your ritteri tank while others fo the hard work.

I'll be there in spirit Tony!

Let me know when.:biggrin:

Maybe I'll bring my camera too. Just for Christy.:lol:

I might be available to help Tony. PM me when you know what weekend and if we don't have any plans I'll come give a hand.

Tony,
I can help Monday - Wed evenings this week, or on the weekends but not this weekend. I am out of town for a week leaving Thursday. Just let me know if & when I can be of service.
