Hi All,

This weekend I will be stripping my tank down with all stock going into a holding system.

What I am after is some help to move the tank out of the lounge on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning(not to early!!)

As you may be aware its an 8 footer so a bit heavy :good:

Are there any idiots / volunteers available then?

I live in Falmouth.

Cheers

Kev
Tankless at the moment :-(

Hopefully not long to wait

We _might_ be away in the caravan, if not, then I can certainly give you a hand.

It should be a bit easier this time as I hope to use some trolley jacks to take the majority of the weight. ;)

At this rate though it looks like everyone is otherwise occupied :o

Anyone had any change of plans yet??

I should be able to manage with 2 or 3 people as I've got a couple of trolley jacks to take the weight so it should be a lot easier than putting it in :rolleyes:

I suggest a change of plan... Let the wookie win
