Job ahead - Gussy - 12-16-2018
I've been working on the loading room and storage area. Almost done but a major job is next.
Move a gun safe from the house garage to the shop loading room. Time to locate the 1inch pvc pipe again. Might have to buy some.
It used to be in the shop.... Should have left it there!

I been procrastinating about my safe that is in the basement and bringing it up when my room is done. That thing weighs 1600 lbs and when I put it in the basement. I took the door off and all the fireproofing to lighten the box and slid it down on a couple 2x12's. The door weight more than the box.
I think I will just get another safe and be done with it. The old wide body is full anyway.

Kurt, the good part is there's no steps. Get on rollers, to the garage door, tie it in the JD loader, slow drive to the shop door and back on rollers.
Now the bad part, get it across a tile floor to the closet.

I'm lucky our local slobber shop guy, will come out and use his safe mover to move a safe, and doesn't charge much.

I once watched a crew move a 200,000 lb freon freezer off of a rail car, down a dock, into a new building and into place...... All on wood log/rollers. I use pvc pipe with basically the same system.

2 guys with the shoulder straps can easily move a very large safe. The straps are Less tha $30 on Amazon.

Done. Took about an hour. No damage done to anything including the tile floor I was worrying about. Would have been a little easier with 2 people moving the pvc rollers.

Oh brother..... It took me longer to change the door swing on the freezer than it did to move the safe!!?!! Idiots who designed it... 3 different sockets to do it on 5 bolts!!!? Plus Phillips and square drivers..
