Strong backs needed

[mpcart]

My tank is supposed to be delivered to Bridgeton (I think) this Sunday, March 16th, and I'm looking for a few strong backs to help me get it into the basement. Since I conveniently fractured my wrist, I doubt I'll be able to do it myself.

I don't know the time, but I'd appreciate it if any of you would be able to meet me in O'Fallon, Illinois to help get the tank moved. I'm even going to stop by the hardware store and buy some of those glass suction cups to help out.

It's 60 x 36 x 25 and weighs about 10,000 lbs (?).

I'd be happy to provide beer and pizza to anyone who can help.

Oh, and as entertainment, you can watch my wife hit me with a frying pan since she doesn't know I ordered the tank or that it will be here this weekend.

Thanks,

-Mike

wow that might be a sight to see. i came home with my 150 without my wife knowing. i bought it while she was visiting her parents and when she came home it was in the garage. Of course i bought mine used so was a little diffrent. Good luck!!!

You can pencil me in since I'm so close. Warning though my wife might have other plans for me.

I would love to come, just to watch the entertainment, But I am having my back surgery on Wednesday.

Can somebody please take pictures.


Yea, go ahead and get some of the tank too.

I might be able to help. Do have an approximate time? And by the way, I'm off and will not be taking any domestic battery reports. If I walk in and you are lying on the floor bleeding from the head we will just step right over you.

 

[TWINPEAKS]

I can help just need a time and address again.

 

[Reeferhead]

You have a PM,

I can do it if its later in the evening.

Can't wait to see it

Is there going to be a raffle or any door prizes? Just wondering...hehehe

 

[Im Lon 2]

Find out what time..

Do you have someone to help Pick it up already?

 

[mpcart]

It looks like I'll be picking the tank up around noon somewhere in St. Louis so I'm thinking about 2PM at my house.

I didn't plan on having anyone to help pick it up since glasscages told me they have guys to load it in the truck. Is that not the case?

I heard there was going to be a raffle, but I think the prizes consist of dirty laundry and dishes.
Go for it Jamie.:lol: :lol:

They loaded mine into the truck for me...

It took four of us to get Stupids in his tank. and there was only 2 of them there. I would ask. Are you getting the same tank as Stupid?

 

[Lost His Marbles Name]

my back is shot but I can bring safety glasses so when your wife beats you to death I won't get blood in my eye's.

 

[DrBDC]

My buddy is having a surprise 40th bday for his wife that day but it's a 1 or 2:00 event and I'll probaby try to skip out in an hour or so. PM me a number if it looks like help might be needed about that time. I'll already be out at Jungemann and 94.

Yes, it is the same size except for two corner overflows and three sides low-iron glass.
