New tank! Need help moving

[RayAllen]

Im getting one heck of a deal on a 200g :hypnotyized:and stand and will need help this weekend (most likely) to get the heavy thing to my house. I will provide the usual beer and will make sure to make you first in line for frags in the future or grill a few steaks what evers better. It is a oceanic 200g 7x2x2 so it will be heavy. I guess 4 of us can get it. I still dont have all the details on exact date,time and local but know it is in SA. Thanks in advance

Ray Allen:bigsmile:

[rocketeer]

I'll be around. Let me know where and when.

Jack

[RayAllen]

[hobogato]

i should be able to help as well.

[RayAllen]

Thanks ACE!

[RayAllen]

Ok guys it will happen Saturday weather permitting at noon. I Will let you guys informed if anything changes but its looks like we are on like Donkey Kong, lol.

:applause::applause::applause::applause:Congrats Ray! I would love to help you but my girlfriends dad will be in this weekend! You had better start taking pictures! :photo:

[RayAllen]

Thanks Erik, the biggest tank ive ever had, so im excited about this weekend!

[brewercm]

If it ends up changing to Sunday afternoon I'm there but I'll be up in Clovis NM and flying back Saturday evening. I'll keep an eye out if things change on your time of move.

[RayAllen]

Again I think 4 of us can handle it, so one more guy is needed. If anyone else comes along 5 guys or better than 4.

So far

Myself-Ray
Rocketeer-Jack
Hobogato-Ace

And you guys let me know what beer you prefer, and if you dont drink beer; what you would prefer to drink. Im a ale,port,bock (basically anything on the darker/fuller side) guy myself. And what would you guys want to eat. I can order pizza, grill some burgers or steaks, although I havnt perfected cooking my steaks to order yet, but im getting there.

Thats cool Lonestar. Figure we can all meet at the place where the aquarium is.
"1604 at Blanco Road , 6 miles north to Timber wood Park. second entrance from Blanco, turning right on to Slumber Pass. My house is 911 Slumber Pass, 1.5 miles on the left"

[RayAllen]

Unless one of you guys has another ruck besides mine im probably going to rent a uhaul becasue I want to do this in one trip and my truck is to small to carry both. Uhaul cant be much for a few hours.

[ismvel]

Ray, if you need a 4th still, let me know what time, I can stop by and help out a bit......I realize these tanks are heavy....me and a friend moved my 220 by ourselves...that sucked

ismael

[hobogato]

i have a truck.

[RayAllen]

Ace you are the man!

[RayAllen]

maelv I still need a 4th. So welcome aboard. If any changes occur within the next couple of days I will let everyone who has offered to help know. Thanks guys for carving out a part of your day to give me a hand.

[LoneStar]

And your house is at: 11164 Baffin Oaks

[RayAllen]

[sin]

[Darth-Tater]

Ray I can help too. I have a small truck (it hasn't grown up yet) Let me know time to meet and I will be there.

David

[RayAllen]

Thanks David. So we have enough guys to move this heavy brick of a tank. Im sure some of you are closer to the tanks actual location versus my place. I want to be at her place around 12:30pm to load it. You can meet me here at my place 11:45 (11164 Baffin Oaks, SA,TX 78254) or at the tanks location 12:30
(911 Slumber Pass, SA,TX)

Thanks Again guys

Ray

[urban79]

Ill be glad to help out..

[rocketeer]

I have a pickup truck, a good dolly, and a sled that might be useful. You're welcome to use any or all of the above.

The last time I moved my 240 nobody had to lift more than 1/2 of the tank.

I'll see you at 12:30 at the pick up location...closer to home...

[RayAllen]

Hey guys I may not need your help on Saturday after all. I got a surprise call from some of my friends/family which several are men, so as of now It looks like I may be covered for Saturday. Only thing that sucks is that I wont know for sure untill tommorow night or Friday. Thank again to all who offered help. As of now your Saturday afternoon is open again.

[RayAllen]

I sent everyone who offered to help individual pms to make sure all of you guys know I no longer need help Saturday, Again thank very much to all of you help offered to give me a hand. Enjoy your Saturday.

Ray

[tropicana]

At least we all know where you live now :-p Haha jk, Have fin with the tank. And Urban79 dont go stalking him, ok?

Edit: Look how I spelled Fun, I noticed after I posted!!!

[ismvel]

...and will make sure to make you first in line for frags in the future...

Ray Allen:bigsmile:

Ray, just because you chose to break our little agreement, don't think you're getting out of this.....LOL

Just kidding.....have fun with that new tank man.....

Ismael

[RayAllen]

LOL, hey im always down for fragging when my colonies grow. So I will keep a mental note of you guys.

[caferacermike]

If you feel like running to Austin you can borrow my suction cups. They make moving large tanks a breeze.

[RayAllen]

I was just in Austin this last weekend for Labor Day. Dont think I can make my way up again within the next day or 2, thanks for offering. I bought a Glass CAges tank when living in Kansas City and we used those, was much easier.
