free beer

[VSpeck]

any one interested in getting a tank down my stairs. Obviously free beer and pizza is included.

[Nanook]

I'll help if I am off work.

What kind of beer and whose pizza?

I have my tastes.

You can most likely count me in.

[VSpeck]

beer is optional if i can round up some people we will do a poll to see what kinds of beer i need. Pizza is the same but whatever is the favorite in north county.

[capncapo]

What size tank?

[Nanook]

If north county I like Pirrone's Any beer will do

[VSpeck]

pirrones rocks its my favorite too. the tank is 96x30x32. some where in the 375-400 range.

Wanna bet?? You ever try to take beer from a Wookie?

[VSpeck]

if capo gets it down the stairs byhimself i will get him a keg and a weeks supply of pizza

[capncapo]

OK....so maybe one other person then.

[logiktest]

Any one could get that size tank to the bottom of the steps by themselves... but how many pieces do you want it in when it gets there?

[VSpeck]

i want it functional when it gets down there but if you and one other person does it i will still buy the keg just not the weeks supply of pizza. maybe a couple nights of pizza

[capncapo]

Do your steps have a turn in them or are they a straight shot?

[breutus]

I think you might regret that one V when ya doing it I would come by and offer my assistance as long as it's not friday or sunday night

[logiktest]

I'll help. When do you want to do this? Do you have any of those niffty suction cup handles?

[VSpeck]

i have to get the tank to my house first. i believe it will be next week but i'm not sure yet. my steps have a turn and will be a tight squeeze but i have been planning this for a while and think i have a plan. I have to take the door frame at the top of the steps down but oh well its worth it for a big tank.

the tank will have to go down the steps and stand on end at the bottom and be moved from there. after stood on end it will clear the corner. also i have to remove the drop ceiling (i hate drop celings) after the turn it is a strait shot into the fish room....

oh and by the way it has to go over a half wall on the way in ( i never said this would be easy!!!!)

so does everyone think this is do able or not?

[VSpeck]

btw any night works for me so its up to you guys.

[Nanook]

No problem...they moved Griss' 4ftx6ftx30" 1 1/4" acrylic tank down the same stairway....very tight and not easy but doable...your's won't be that bad.

[VSpeck]

rock on thats what i like to hear.

[KvcGsxr600]

Can I sit inside the tank while you guys move it?

[paulamrein]

I'll be the official supervisor and the guy with the bull-horn telling you to keep up the good work. Are there union breaks involved? Or am I going to have to do the whole thing without a cigarette in one hand and a Dr. Pepper in the other? This, my friend, is the deal breaker.
What part of NoCO?

[Lost Marbles]

what do spectators get? My back is on the fritz.

[VSpeck]

spectators can have beer and pizza too. it wont take all that many people to get it down it is 3/4 acrillic. so far i have like 4 people to help lift, 1 to sit in the tank, 1 to supervise and you can come ad watch

I would imagine that to be plenty of people to lift but spectators are always welcome
