I would shoot for 6 since you have to go up the hill to get it in. It will get real heavy about half way up the sidewalk with no where to take a break! OH MY gosh. I just totally now remembered you called! Sorry I never called back, we have had a full crew of guys doing stuff on the house this week and they had just found a paint mix up lowes had done and needed instructions right when you called. Not to mention I went to Lowes 4 times that day ...

you think we need that many for a 180? I did not realize.....more more volunteers.....we need YOU!! thanks Angela...call me later if you get a chance. I have a work meeting at noon but will be free after that.

How much does it weigh? Can we not drive it up to the top of the driveway?

Its just gonna be a heavy load for 4 to carry that far. ( I am scarring the volenteers now :lol Not sure with the hill and landscapping if you all will be able to drive in the yard Crumbletop. Would probably mess it up also. Talk some of you Karate buddies into a job tonight! Or just call all your neighbors like I did!

Doesn't the driveway go up the hill to the house? I'm not talking about driving in the yard...

The driveway goes to the house but the tank has to go up a sidewalk, up a few steps on the poarch, then into the family room. The 180 is made with thinner glass so it should be doable with 4, 6 is just alot easier naturally. Julie can put all her mucles to work if need be :lol:

I would make Cory stop to help Julie but he has to hurry home to keep the kids for me to go out tonight for my .....BIRTHDAY with a girlfreind.

Whew. I have visions of having to lug that thing up from the street.

Not sure of details of lay-out, but when I moved my 180, it fit quite nicely into my lawn tractor trailer. Drove it right up to the porch and lifted it from there. Hope that generates some back saving ideas. Please be carefull when lifting it, use proper body mechanics....I'm on-call tonight
