    Dagg! I saw this and popped right on hoping it was wet and running! I like Tom's idea....maybe the bribe should be beer and food - not wine :)

    Sorry to disappoint. I am so ready to get this tank going! In fact, I'm tempted to just pay piano movers and not risk the tank getting cracked or shattered. It's a heavy beast!

    That may be your best bet is to pay someone and make sure it's done right.

    Yes! I have left messages for three local piano movers. So hopefully I can have a crew lined up on Monday to get this tank in the basement. My stepdad has already nicknamed it the "maxi-pond."

    It worked! I have piano movers coming on Wednesday. And their rate was reasonable. Look for pics on Wednesday evening!

    Piano movers came today. There were only two guys and they knew right when they looked at it that they weren't going to be able to move the beast. So they'll be back on Friday with more guys. And the wait continues...

    Unfortunately I'm not a patient person (patient enough to go slow in this hobby). I need it now! : ). I'm glad they are coming back on Friday even though that is the day we are supposed to get our first snowfall of the season. Yea!
