LF: Tank Movers
 
Ok so I got a new tank built but now I need it moved from the shop to my house. Talked to a few moving/delivery companies but so far the common approach seems to to charge more than what the tank is worth. Anyone know of any decent people willing to move a 450lb tank for a reasonable amount? Or anyone here want to make a few bucks and help me out?

Late this week ideally Friday evening or Saturday morning. When it comes to this kind of stuff I honestly prefer just to hire people, I hate lifting big tanks and asking friends to do the same, much easier to let the people that do this all the time handle it. However in past it's always been reasonable, $200-300 but it seems now everyone wants closer to $1000 and some even more than that. So if nobody has recommendations for a company I'll just have to suck it up and gather some friends. I'm taking Ross up on his offer and Denny you're on Deck. I won't bother the rest of you just yet but I appreciate the offers.

If you end up doing it Friday. I should be free.

Did you try Precision. They moved a piano for me for pretty cheap. I know it gets expensive if they have to go up or down stairs.
