I could really use some help ...

Post by Grateful Diver »

Hello fellow south sounder divers ...

Wondering if any of y'all would be around and available to help me move something heavy tomorrow? I have asked around, but haven't gotten sufficient response yet, so figured I'd try here.

I need about three or four guys who can help me lift and move a wooden gazebo to a corner in my yard, at around 5 PM tomorrow. With sufficient help it shouldn't take more than about 15 minutes. Afterward, I'll be serving burgers, brats, and beer.

If you're around the Federal Way area, and wouldn't mind helping, I'd be most appreciative ...

Hi Bob!

I may be around Federal way earlier in the day... probably near 2, if that time might work out

I'm not a big strong guy, but I can lift a 130 tank, so let me know? I'd love to help or just be shore support :)

I've got everything ready to go, and told everyone else to show up around 5. So thanks Eric for the offer, but I need to stick to that schedule now.

Thanks Jess ... you're always welcome to stop by.

I've rented a pallet jack to do the heavy lifting. Mostly I need "shore support" to steady the thing over the bumps in the lawn (I'm going to be laying down sheets of plywood so that the wheels can move), and we have to rotate it 180 degrees to put it in place. Big and strong is helpful, but the more bodies we can put around it just to keep it from tilting too much the better.

If all goes according to plan, shouldn't take too long to put it in its new home ... if ... :D
