Please can I count on any of U?

[Awibrandy]

Here is the deal. I over stocked my 75g FOWLR, therefor I got them a bigger home.
6' 125 g tank to be picked up sometime after July 8. The member I bought it from has so very graciously offerd his truck for transport. So the vehicle & driver are included in the deal, the labor unfortunately neither the MR member, my husband, or I are able to do any heavy lifting. I thought I could count on my son & some of his buddies. But that is not likely.:redface:

My 19 yr.old son has found himself an older girlfriend that is allowing him sleep overs. I haven't seen him all week.

Is there any chance that a couple of you strong fellas can help me out? I will pay you, just let me know what you are looking at $$ wise. It is the tank, stand, and approximately 2 or 3 buckets of dry sand. The stand is MDB so I don't think it will be that heavy.

Day & time is flexible, I'm sure we can work out a time that works for all. :hug:

Guys, this is for anytime after the 8th. of July. Does not have to be on the weekend, as both the seller, and I are retired. But if we want hubby to do some grilling, then it would have to be Friday the 13,Sat.14,or Sunday the 15 of July. As the he will be working from the 8th. through 12.

Also, it will not be a set up just a move from Middle Village to my dining room in Far Rockaway. I would imagine 2 or 3 hours max is all the time I would need of your time.

I'll help out. I may have to come a few days in advance to see what kind of shoring your floor needs. Lets see what you need so I can figure out what to do with your leak, floor, extra tank, old tank, tanks in your living room, tanks in your dining room, tanks on your front porch... you know what I'm saying here.... 1TANK PER CUSTOMER!!!!!!!!!!!

[deelucky]

how can i get out to you by public transportation,if its easy then i will help,and please no money offers thank you.lol.D

 

[Awibrandy]

deelucky, Thank you so much! I live by the Beach 25 street stop on the "A" train to Far Rockaway. If you could make it, It would be greatly appreciated.
I will double check with loismustdie to see what day he will be available. What day & time of day will you be available Please?

 

[deelucky]

basicly i will make sure that it will be the only thing for that day.get everything setup with LMD and you lmk.D

 

[PalmTree]

Hey Awilda. I can try to stop by as well. It depends on the day because I usually work nights. Could you PM me your number? I can probably do Saturday during the day.

 

[Davidl919]

I can help either this friday or next friday but honestly speaking I would have to leave by 4 this friday I bowl in a league and next friday I would have to leave by 2 because the population is back by then and I hate traffic. I can certainly take 3 members with me as long as we meet in a centralized location.

I'll let you do the math on this and you can LMK.

P.s I don't drinky no beer. Gracias.

 

[Awibrandy]

You guys rock! Great guys! Thank you so very much!! As soon as I hear back louismustdie, I will have a more definitive day & time.

 

[TimberTDI]

I can help load the truck. I grew up in Middle Village, good excuse to bum a dinner off Mom:Blurp:. I work nights so just let me know when a date and time are set.

Steven

 

[tosiek]

[JHOV2324]

Hey if u need extra hands i'll take the trip down to the beach....and i'm very close in middle village...so Holla Back...i'm down for next fri.

 

[Awibrandy]

Guys thank you so much, I knew I could count on my extended family.
I will let you all know when I have a more definitive day & time.
For now I can tell you it will not happen this coming Friday, unless we are all willing to do without the barbieQ since hubby is working his darn 10day rotation.:irked:

 

[Dace]

[Awibrandy]

I'm looking at NEXT WEEK SATURDAY July 14 mid morning early afternoon depending on the seller's schedule. And hubby is off of work. I'll know better after July 8 when seller gets back from vacation.

 

[marki24]

Do to my stupidity, and not measuring properly, the new tank will not fit in my dining room. So instead of needing your help to just carry the tank & stand from the seller's place into his truck, and then from his truck up into my house. I will actually need your help in doing an actual switch of the tanks.
The new tank has to go in the same spot the old 75 is now. And the old 75 tank, stand & canopy will have to go into my basement for storage until it's new owner can pick up. Which may be a couple of years :biglaugh:.

I'm really sorry for this guys. I hope I can still count on you guys.:hug:

I am trying for the weekend of the 14 of July or the 15.:flower:
Beer & Barbieque will be supplied by the :chef:chef of the house.
You are expected to bring your swimming suits, as there is a nice size pool in the back yard.:wink1:

 

[JHOV2324]

i better eat a good breakfast....I'll still help with what i can...you might want to start this day early....make a little plan like...while some guys are getting the tank others are empting out the old tank so when they come with new tank....old tank is already in basement...

That is an excellent Idea! Thank you so much for that.
