chrisfowler99 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'll be moving a 265g tank (and stand and canopy) from the Tate's to my place (both in Georgetown). I plan on renting a U-Haul to move it. We could use several extra pairs of hands (and feet and stuff) to help out. We'd like to get going before 1pm on Sunday so as not to affect Halloween type stuff for our kids. Please let me know if you have some muscle you can add. Thanks! Edit: Looks like we're going to shoot for Saturday at 2:30ish. We could use another pair of hands or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medi Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm up for it. I live a very short way from their house so would be more than happy to lend a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy82 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 That tank is a monster - you might want to do some carb loading the day before! We just moved a little 75 gal and I felt like I had just run a marathon Hope you end up having plenty of help and everything goes smoothly. We already have plans Sunday morning, but PM me if you need to borrow some buckets! We have at least 15 - most have handles and lids. They stack nicely if you have a dolly.

+olaggie01 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 If I'm not heading to Indy, I'll help. Can you get some suction cups to help with the lifting? I have a dolly that might work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad and Belinda Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 We have the suction cups already. I will send directions to those who don't know where we live. Looking forward to seeing everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Chad, do you have two or four suction cups? I think someone, at some point, said prof had some as well. Might be nice if we had four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooric Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Would love to help since I am in G-Town but Sundays mornings are booked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad and Belinda Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Has anyone ever used the MAAST cart? We did when we picked our tank up in San Antonio. It made a HUGE difference since it was built for moving heavy tanks. However, the way our house is laid out, it was easier to to move the tank from the trailer that I backed up to the front door, to where it is now...all at once without stopping. I'm not sure how Chris' house is laid out. Anybody else want to help? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'll have the tank broken down as much as possible so that this can go a fast as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 In my house we'll go right in the front door and then through some double doors on the right right into my office. So once we're in it's maybe 10-15 feet. The only "difficult" part should be the front door. Looking at U-Haul trucks. Same price for the 10' and 14' trucks. 10' truck's dimension is: 9'11"(L)x6'4"(W)x6'2"(H) I'm thinking that should be long enough...and easier to drive and has a slightly lower deck height.

Try Home Depot's covered trailer. I used it to pick up our tank and everything fit perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad and Belinda Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Ok...so far, we do not have enough volunteers for Sunday. Is anyone available on Saturday around 2:30 or 3pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooric Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I could help on Sunday if it's after 1pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Moving it to Saturday, 2:30ish. We've got three people confirmed for Saturday (myself, Chad and o0zarkwater (Chris)). We've got one that has said he can probably help (olaggie01...sorry, don't know your actual name) And one that is a "should be". (don duncan has told me he should be available Saturday, but has not confirmed the time) I'll talk with him tonight. We could use another confirmed pair of hands or two to make this as easy as possible. It's a 7' tank...plenty of room for people to get around it.

Chad and Belinda Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 We've got one more volunteer...Calvin (medi) has said he'd come help. Yay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Cool. I confirmed with Don tonight as well. He'll be in. So we've got 5. We should be good. Gonna reserve a truck for 2:00. I'll try to pick it up and be over as close to 2:30 as I can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
