Needing some help moving a safe....San Marcos

[zfields]

Hey all,

I recently had back surgery, so lifting is out of the question for a few more months, but I recently picked up a new safe and need a hand getting it up into my place. Needs to go up a flight of stairs, and into a closet. Should be a quick job for a couple guys and a handtruck, I can take care of securing it down. Safe is just under 300lbs all the junk is moved so just needs to be slapped into place.

Will pay well for your time.


Thanks
Z




Yes, I know its a bit of an odd request to be posting about, but I don't know anyone in this area to do it.

When were you looking to do this? If you can get one or two more guys I'll lend you some help if the schedule works.
I had to move mine last year but fortunately had my father in law help. I just didn't trust the moving company crew to know about it.

Let me know.

Go to Gander mountain & see if they recomend some safe movers.
That's how I got mine home.

It was one guy with a motorized hand truck & he can take them upstairs by himself.
Something like $150.00.

I have about 20 more days to pick it up, so really anytime.

I asked around at cabelas when I bought it, they said they werent allowed to recommend anyone...The local academy employees......well lets just say I don't want them in my house.

I said Gander Mountain, is there not one around?
It was not employees of Gander that did the moving, either.

zfields,

Trust me when I say this is meant not to be disrespectful and I understand your situation. However, San Marcos is a college town and even though it's summer vacation, there has to be a way to find two young college age guys that would love to earn a few buck for what should be not much time. Maybe Craigslist, etc., make a few phone calls, use some BS ambiguous terms to describe what you want moved (300 lb object, heavy chest, you get the idea), approx how far, up some stairs and see what you get.

And that is exactly who don't want knowing what I have in my house. Students, who are trying to score a few bucks, that have little to no ties to the area, etc etc.

 

[zfields]

Not that I know of no.

The Cabela's south of Austin? I was just there looking at safes. Floor salesman handed me cards of 2 companies from a stack of names of people who move them. You asked the wrong person.

Don't know if I kept them, but let me know if you want me to look for you.

Yep That's the one. That is odd, I asked an older guy that seemed to know what the hell he was talking about. Go figure.

Man, with right tools, it would only take 1 person to move it. I have personally moved my 700 pounder 4 times and only required help once(going up 2 flights of stairs in an old apartment). Just get a dolly, several small pieces of PVC pipe(to make rollers), and viola!

Piano movers (tha' flat thing with rollers on the bottom) are a great help when you get to a flat surface. Just a suggestion.

Can the door be removed? Makes it a lot easier.

Thanks everyone. Had a neighbor moving in and scooped up their movers to bring it up.

Brilliant. Bet you spent a lot less since they were already in the area.
