Fortunately there's no drywall in danger and I can fix it if there was that got damaged. I used to do drywall.

We've been basing the logistics on a few factors including cost. One friend suggested I offer to sell it to the landlords and leave it behind, buy a new safe. Unfortunately that's still another $1200 + delivery again. Movers are picking up only the large items in the middle of a week, so that effectively limits the cost of a moving company. Honestly, their cost will be less than the quoted safe move unless they drag their feet. Doubling the cost of moving personal items by paying a company to move one item is inconceivable.

And $400+ dollars without same day service is not OK with me. I'd rather break off people I know and enjoy their sweaty coffee scented BO than. Even cook them up some elk after we get unpacked.

But if I really had to do it, I'd just pay the man. I did it once.

600 lbs is more manageable that you think, Criminals do it all the time, its all about determination

you will need a sturdy dolly (not many hand trucks built for that weight) some strips of teflon or delrin glued to oak wood (or other slippery material).

Once upon a time my friend and I lifted a 600 lb Ford 352 FE motor from a wheelbarrow into the back of my truck, just the two of us. When we were finished we looked like we had made love to it...violent love..we were covered in oil, grease and scratches, scrapes..... of course we were young and dumb, 16 I think

Thefuryoffire, RocketScott, and two other friends that I work with helped me move the safe. Everything went quite smooth.

Excellent! Our home is on the market with two safes in the basement. Hoping to sell to someone who wants one or both but Plan B is to rent a serious dolly and round up my burly buddies. Pizza and beer is no problem :thumbsup2:

I'll let you know when it's time to dig the trench for electrical to the man cave. We'll need a Working Steward.

That did go pretty smooth.

I think you overpaid us though. I'm still full from that burrito.

Let me know when you want me to come back over and install the rest of the lock sets. We can figure out the power to the man cave too.

I wish we'd figured out the power lifter a little sooner. I think we'd been underutilizing it for a long time there.

I'd be happy to come out and help dig for that man cave.
