Move Recruitment
 

So I've bought a new place and will be moving my tank either Sept 27 or 28th after work. Ideally I could use 3 or 4 people to assist for a couple of hours. I also would like to move all the existing water, so anyone that can lend me 5g containers with lids, I'd be forever grateful.

My (stupid) plan is to drain the water and carry the tank with rock work intact to the van and move it to the new place, fill it back up at the other end.

So anyone that can help, please let me know if either day is better and I can start planning. Thanks!

I'm moving at the end of this month and will have 12+ Instant Ocean buckets up for grabs after I'm done. If you're over here or know anyone comming this way that can pick them up for you let me know.

My plan is to use most of my origional water also.

Thanks Jack! We ever gonna see you over this side again?? :razz:

I'd like to help ya, Brad, but I'm going to be away Sept 12 - Oct 10.
Sorry. :sad:

Hope the plan works out for ya.

Cheers,

Thanks Mark!

I'm pretty sure I can lend a hand as long as I'm in town that weekend and don't have to work. It's pretty early to tell but I'm usually in town.

I'll come down and give you a hand, eitehr day. I've got about 4 or 5 IO buckets as well and lots of rubbermaid totes if you need them :biggrin:

The move.
 

Ditto to what Christy said Brad... I also have a cargo van... and bigger pythons than Christy... :mrgreen: Let me know & I'm in...

I'll have to talk to the wife, but I can probably make it down for either day. Christy and I could car pool.

If you need it I have a ford F-150 with a bed liner that would make it nice and easy to slide a tank into it. Now if you already got a vehicle let me know and I'll just take the Echo down. WAY cheaper on gas.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully I get enough people in town that nobody needs to travel, but I certainly appreciate the offers.
Gerald, I have a van, so the tank will slide in there nicely. Car pooling with Christy would be best for you!

Jason, those days are mid week, unfortunately I couldn't get possession for a week-end!

Hey Brad, are you planning on an evening or day move? If evening, I could join up with Christy and Gerald to help out. If it's a day move, I'm working, sorry. If it would help, I will search out my work shop. I think I have a switchable horizontal or vertical dolly out there buried in the rubble.

Looks like an evening move, either on a Tuesday or Wednesday after work.
Don't think I'll need a dolly, most things can just be carried as is..

Still in day or night if ya need Brad.... I want to meet you sometime anyways... :mrgreen:

:mrgreen:

guess I am in, but only if you get the wink added to the quick pick emoticons :mrgreen:

Steve

Would luv to help you out Brad but with my new job I only get the weekends off. If you need help the weekend before or after, drop me a line and I could pop over.

Thanks Rich, but the weekend will be when I sit with a drink in front of the tank and relax after a crazy week of moving.

bah, thats when your going to help me clean out the garage isn't it :mrgreen:

Steve

Steve, I'll clean out your garage anytime you want!! We'll move all those tools out of there so they don't take up all that space!

and put them where? :mrgreen: speaking of tools I am buying a new one on wensday, got to get a jointer.

Steve

I should be able to help with no problems. just keep me posted :)

I will take a look at my schedule should be able to help. I think I have 5 buckets.

Cheers
Tyler

Hi Brad, I"m working both those nights but I have 2 salt buckets if you need them. I can drop them off on the 24th if it will help. Rachel Heaters as well if you need to borrow 2.

Brad, Do you want to borrow the truck? It is stick shift though? Rachel.

Thanks for the offer Rachel, but the van should do it (I hope). Official night is the 28th next week, so confirmations now being accepted. I think it's better to get locals, since driving from Nanaimo would likely take longer than the move itself. Basically I'll be moving equipment during the day on my own, then I need 3 assistants later in the day to help move the tank, stand and water.
I'm also going to try and rent 20 5g water bottles from the water store, that will be the easiest method of moving the water, me thinks.

Please PM me for confirmation, and thanks a million for all the offers. :biggrin:

What time are you planing on doing it. I have meetings that day so if it is evening I should be able to help.

Cheers
Tyler

Tyler, I'm thinking somewhere after 6pm. My hopes are having the tank filled again by 7pm. hehee
At this point I think Tyler W is coming, Japarto is coming, maybe Steve, and John said he's in. Christy too, but it's a long drive, so I hope I don't need to drag her down here!

Jeez you're losing it in this thread too :razz:

nu-uh, I think we can do it. Or you might be right....we'll see next week!! :biggrin:

I should be able to help I will check to see what time the meetings are done. I have 5-5gal buckets if you need them 4 with lids.

Cheers
Tyler

Thanks Tyler, let me know. Hopefully I can get 20 water jugs with lids, but I'll let you know about the buckets!

Brad,

If Christy's coming, then get her to stop in and PU buckets and stuff. I probably have enough buckets and various containers WITH lids to transport at least half your water if not all. Don't forget my offer to help if you need... :mrgreen:

Jim.

Thanks Jim, I'll keep that in mind.

hey man 6 pm is to early.. I was thinking more like 8 or 9ish.

Steve

Steve, 8 or 9 is too late. I want to finish before it gets too cold out, as the corals are going exposed to air.

Count me in still. I have to go to Duncan one night next week for business and the day is dependant on the guy I'm meeting but I will try my best to work around it.

Thanks Jason!

I can lend a hand if you are still in need!

just let me know

858-7627

now that i think about it i think i have 7 or 8 water cooler bottles.....

I also have 6 5G water jugs from Save On.

ok looks like I can be there right after work or shortly there after.. I might even see if I can get the afternoon off if you are nice :mrgreen:
