reefman Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'm looking for help moving a tank and equipment from Round Rock (off of Red Bud) to my house in NW Austin. Not sure yet whether this will be done Saturday or Sunday (the day will really depend on what I can pull together in the way of help). I will provide beer and pizza at my end. If you had time, the extra hands would be helpful. I know I'm trying to pull this off at the last minute, so I completely understand if you have other plans. Please let me kn ow if you could help either day. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless_donkey Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I can help sunday. Should I bring a van? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Thank you, thank you both. James, Yes, if you could bring your van, that would be super. Let me know if either of you has a preference on beer and pizza. I eat pizza, but don't drink beer, so let me know what you want and I'll have it iced down and waiting I'll send an update a little later when I have a better idea of what the logistics will be, and will try to get this planned out for Sunday. Again, thank you both. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I could help Sunday morning, but I have to be home by 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeK Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I should be able to help. I just need to know a time so I can clear it with the wife. Do you need anything else? Water jugs, buckets, etc? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Can't make any promises until you pick a day but I'll see what I can do and can get plenty of trucks at a moments notice. Been working 7 days a week again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Looks like we're definitely going to try this on Sunday. I would like to get started at around 10:00, but we can start later if y'all prefer. Also, let me know if you rather meet at my place (off 183 and Oak Knoll, and caravan over to Shane's, or meet up there). Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 10 sounds good to me. It does not matter where we meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Since a few of you that have offered to help need to get back home by early afternoon, I would like to kick this off at 10:00. If you plan to meet me at my house first, then try to be there by around 9:30, so we can be a Shane's by around 10:00. Please let me know where you plan to meet up so I will know who to look for at my place before we head to Round Rock. My place: 11610 Autumn Ridge Drive Austin, Texas 78759 (NW Austin off 183) Home # 257-9550 Cell # 695-2013 Link to Yahoo map http://maps.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTExNmIycG...30.410486&mag=5 Shane Lafferty's place: 3358 Pioneer Crossing Round Rock, Texas If you need Shane's #, please PM me and I will send it. Link to Yahoo map http://maps.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTExNmIycG...30.401307&mag=7 The drive directions on this map seem confusing, the easy way is: Go north on I35 thru Round Rock, exit HWY 79, turn right onto HWY 79. Go up HWY 79 to Red Bud (a little way past the Dell Diamond). Take a left on to Red Bud at the light. Just a litte ways past the turn, you will see a neighborhood sign named "Trailside". The street is Pioneer Crossing. Turn right on Pioneer Crossing. Address is 3358 Pioneer Crossing, about a block and a half down on the left. I've had one request for Miller Lite, so I'll have it, Bud, and some O'Douls icing down. If you want something else, please let me know and I'll be happy to get it. I'll order pizza when we start to head back from Shane's with the stuff. We'll have for vehicles that I know of: Shane's truck James' van Chase' blazer (my step son) My Trailblazer I think this should be enough, but if you can bring something that can haul, all the better. We will be moving: a 130g Acrylic tank, canopy, stand, sump, lights, and equipment (big Trigger Systems skimmer, pumps, lots of plumbing and equipment) a 45g Quarantine tank with canopy, stand, and lights JoeK, I think I have enough containers and buckets, but if you have extra's I would appreciate you bringing them as a just in case. Mike, If you can bring a truck, great, but hopefully we will have enough vehicles, so its your call. Everyone else, Again, my thanks. Let me know if you think I'm missing anything.

GKarshens Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I will plan on meeting you at Shane's at 10. I will bring your ballast w/me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Sounds great, Gabriel. Thanks. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apmark Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I can help Sunday at 10:00 too. I'll meet you at Shane's in RR. I'll bring a couple of buckets just in case too. Don't order extra pizza or beer for me. I think I might end up learning something and that's payment enough for me. See ya then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks Mark! Greatly appreciated! Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'm glad that so many are offering to help, as it turns out I am being asked to work. PM me if you need anything or feel you will need the extra hand as I could decide to just not go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Mike, Do what you need to do for your job, it looks like we have the move covered well. Sorry you can't make it, but if you get off work feel free to come by and grab some beer and pizza. Would love for you to see the systems I have set up.

caferacermike Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Would love to but probably won't get put until about 9:00pm. One of these days when I'm not working 7 days a week I promise to stop over. Have sympathy for the shops as I don't visit them anymore either.

reefman Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'm a little concerned about containers. I have 3 rubbermaid containers, 3 plastic tubs, and several buckets, but if anyone has any laying around could you please bring them with you just in case? Thanks. Everything else is still online for tomorrow. Hope the weather clears. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeK Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Stephen, I am going to have to bow out of this move. Unfortunately, I think I'm starting to get sick with something one of the kids brought home from school. I apologize for not being able to assist.

reefman Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 No problem JoeK. Hope you get to feeling better. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I just wanted to be sure and thank everyone for the help with the tank move Sunday. The tank is not completely set up yet, but we have the rock & coral in, most of the water, and I should be able to get the rest online in the next couple days. All the major pieces are in place. Thanks again to: Wryknow GKarshens Headless_Donkey APmark ...and finally Shane Lafferty (who I bought the system from), who was indespensible in helping get it set back up at my place.
