ive got a furniture dolly (which i liberated from some thieving movers that stole my digital camera) that you can use if you need it.

pretty basic, but i use it to move lots of stuff.lol

and if needed, i can add some extra weight to get the tank into the house, but i live on the north shore.lol

OK...it is time to mark your calendar and volunteer for some heavy lifting. Tank deliver is 4PM, Sunday Aug 27. If you are keen, and live close enough to Westwood Plateau, PM me.

Bonus points if you have a line on suction cups!

BIG thanks to Midknight who lent his effort to the tank delivery. I think it went as smoothly as it possibly could have. Now...the work begins.

Ahh dude, I live at the bottom of the hill... I would have totally ran up to give a hand.

I just bought a house in heritage woods too... Can't wait to move in and plan out the fishtank!

Too bad...we could have used some extra help. As is, it got in. Neither the tank, nor any person, was injured in the process....so that's about as good as could be hoped.

This installation began the planning stages in October, 2005 as the house was being built. (No, I wasn't able to make much mod to the construction to accommodate the plan). Tank room construction began in late May, 2006.

Basically...it's 75% done structurally; 90% done electrically; 0% done on plumbing...and 0% done on lighting. LOOONG way to go...
