Well I've decided to go for the drilled 180, of course
 , so I won't be needing a truck or van, as it will be delivered.Thanx to all who offered a vehicle. Thanx to all who have offered help, period. Hint, hint. (Keep reading). I may still need help carrying the tank inside, however. (Hence the change in the thread title). The LFS has told me that they will not provide a helping hand beyond bringing the tank to my apartment building. The delivery person has a bad back. Sooooo, I may put a call out again for lifting help. It gets delivered on Nov. 30th, which is a Wednesday. Question: How many guys does it take to lift a 180? More than two? Thanx much, P.S. I'm so excited.

Jeez Mark any chance we are related????? Sounds exactly like something I would do - go into a store to see about getting an old tank drilled and walk out with a new bigger tank and smaller wallet!

 And to think that the salesman suggested that he was the crazy one! What do they call that? Reverse psychology?  Cheers,

moving 180
I was going the cart route also, but after moving my 195 (180 tall)...I recommend six healthy guys....esp if there is doors and stairs.
Six guys can manhandle the tank easily and safely....four if they pump iron and ate their Wheatys

Good decision Mark. The last day of the month is always the busiest day for me, but put me down for a last minute yes. We moved my 180 with only two people and that was around doors and up elevators. Getting four is being safe so put me down for a last resort five or six.
