Have Semi Emergency looking for help in Natomas

[miracles38]

Hey everyone,
To my surprise, my new stand was delivered today. I knew that it was in transit, but they called me at 12:30 and said it would be here at 2pm. I was at work, but luckily I had someone that could sign for it. Unfortunately, the wouldn't bring it in the house. So, my new steel stand is sitting in my driveway in the rain. The rain won't hurt it, but I would like to get it in my house if possible. It is really heavy (like 4-500 lbs). I am just wondering if anyone (strong) is sitting around thinking "gee, wish I could move a really heavy object tonight." The good news is that I can work out some frags for help, or I also have some equipment too. I guess it would take 4-8 people to move it. I do have 2 flat dollie thingies that might help out.

If anyone is interested please let me know. You can reach me @ 916-925-5508. I also have 4 beers and could get more if needed

Thanks everyone. Oh, yeah, I can also offer some vacation coverage if that is appealing to you. Whatever you need I will do my best to make happen!

Kim, you moved out of Davis?

 

[pbetito]

I am OMW!!

 

[miracles38]

Yeah, I just moved a couple of weeks ago.

I have a couple of people coming around 7:30 if anyone can make it.

I was just out removing some of the bracing from the pallet and it is not nearly that heavy. That is what the shippers said but that must have included lots of particle board. I think 3 of us can do it. Thanks everyone.

Great observation Steve! :lol:

Well I am sorry that I missed this post tonight. We almost need local area fan out lists for emergences! I am glad you were able to get it inside tonight.

Kim - I'm available this evening if you need one more.

 

[miracles38]

Thanks everyone. It is in and it is super cool. Here are some pics:

Wow Kim. New tank on the way! Congrats! I look forward to seeing that. When'd you move and your old tank is still running till the new one is set?

 

[miracles38]

Hey Herman! I moved a couple of weeks ago. The 240 is still in Davis and I will move the contents as soon as I get this one set up. You will have to come by when you are in the area.

 

[ReefnAv]

Kim,
Anytime my dear...It was great meeting you and the kitties. That stand is awesome and after already seeing your tank at CRS, I can't wait to see the final setup!

 

[MrMikeB]

Kim - Love the color on the wall behind the tank!

(oh and the stand looks kick $ss too)
