DeBree420 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 So the time has come to move my eight foot from the floor up to its stand. I have a scissor lift, so the lift will involve lifting the tank up by a couple of truck straps 40cm up to the lowest point the scissor lift goes to, holding it steady as the lift moves it up, then sliding the tank across onto its stand. Also if we have time, moving another tank that's outside about 3 meters so it's undercover. The catch is, I live on Russell island. I'm happy to pay the ferry fee though. The ferry leaves from Redland bay and takes approximately half an hour to get to the island. Travel between the other islands is free, so bring a fishing rod and use it as an excuse to explore the southern Moreton bay islands. This move is planned for Saturday the 19th around 10am, a week from today. Please let me know if you are able to attend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbunamad Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 It is 8 x ? x ? I was at the RPC "muscles needed" job and I can possibly help with ideas on how to do it. I don't understand what the truck straps are for? Not sure if I can be there yet but will let you know. How much is the return water taxi trip? How will we find your house?

Farmboy99 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I can turn up, sit and drink beer, telling everyone else how to do it, and what they're doing wrong. Well after 60 odd years it must be my turn by now, cos there always has to be one doesn't there, so it might as well be me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBree420 Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 240x80x80cm, the truck straps means no one has to lift with hands on the glass, its much easier to grip,and each person can lift at their own height, and how we moved the tanks in to begin with. The ferry is about $20 return, 30% or so less if you use a go card, that's an overestimation, but I'm happy to swing $20 to people to cover their costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBree420 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Bump, anyone? Will provide some beers to those of age and inclination?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 why not just put an add on the noticeboard on the Island? Surely with the offer of free beer & bbq the entire Island will turn up - unless Russell Isle has changed in the last few years that's how it always used to work isn't it?!
