Have Semi Emergency looking for help in Natomas

miracles38 · #1 01/08/2008, 09:28 PM

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!

I would totally help out, but I have some vistors at my house right now and can't leave

Kim, you moved out of Davis?

pbetito · #7 01/08/2008, 09:57 PM

I am OMW!!

miracles38 · #8 01/08/2008, 09:58 PM

Yeah, I just moved a couple of weeks ago.

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

miracles38 · #9 01/08/2008, 10:23 PM

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!

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.

Unarce · #12 01/09/2008, 12:21 AM

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

miracles38 · #13 01/09/2008, 12:56 AM

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

miracles38 · #14 01/09/2008, 12:58 AM

With many, many, many thanks to Paul & Jeff. You guys rock!!!

FunGuy · #15 01/09/2008, 01:07 AM

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 · #16 01/09/2008, 02:21 AM

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.

jeffmperez · #17 01/09/2008, 02:26 AM

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 · #18 01/09/2008, 02:30 AM

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

(oh and the stand looks kick $ss too)

kevin95695 · #19 01/09/2008, 02:31 AM

Darnit. I was at a work dinner tonight and missed the action. Glad to see you got the help you needed.

KMP · #20 01/09/2008, 11:17 PM

i missed out too - bummer!

miracles38 · #21 01/10/2008, 12:10 AM

Guys, guys, guys I have another task that needs some muscular power so you haven't missed out yet!! I need to pick up my tank and get it in the house. I am sure I can get the tank home, but I know I can't bring it in alone. I am hoping to get it either tomorrow night, Friday night or Saturday so I can get started on hooking everything up. Anyone up to a little more lifting? I brought about 25 more corals to my new house tonight, so there are more frags to choose from! Plus, I accidentally made about 8 pink jade frags from tiny to not as tiny.

jeffmperez · #22 01/10/2008, 12:38 AM

Kim,
you have my number if you need me!

KMP · #23 01/10/2008, 12:40 AM

thur/fri/sat are a little awkward for me. any idea on times?

kevin95695 · #24 01/10/2008, 10:39 AM

Thurs maybe... Fri/Sat, not so much. Sunday easy. I've got a truck too.

jeffmperez · #25 01/10/2008, 12:32 PM

Ditto. I have a truck as well if you need it.
