tkeracer619 · 05/09/2016, 02:29 AM

Stuff is ready, tank is ready, time to move! Notice there isn't video or pics of the hard part (everyone was occupied). The tank weighs about 1600lbs empty.

Here is most of the "other" stuff. There is a nice sump, a 150gal stock tank full of rock, and a few other misc stuff missing from the image.

I had to remove this thing. It was in my way.

Here we are at my house. Fence gone: Check, Deck railing cut off: Check, huge tank on a trailer that needs to be lifted up: check.

Secured and lifted!

This is why I needed to take off the trailer gate...

Straight shot onto the carts (onto a 8x4 sheet of ply ), lift to stand height that is already in place, on 3 take the door down and PUUUUUUUSH.

Easy as pie.

My buddy Shane, he also make an appearance in my last build thread about this time. How on earth is his luck this good!
