So much for friends!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
beer and pizza would get me plenty of good help.

I guess with such lousy friends, you could price a moving company or other business that could handle it (piano movers, pool table movers, etc).
 
Wow, they won't help.I would help my friends move and they would help me. What about family memebers?
 
Fermit has the best idea so far haha! I think I have 1 other person to help so it should work. The reason why everyone is simple. Metal heads, punks and bikers all have 1 thing in common bad backs. Myself included.
 
the miracle of liquor.
can get anything done if enough liquor's on offer. ask your neighbours, offer them a bottle in exchange for help :)
 
I'm givin a bottle to a friend and he might be able to get a couple other people. I can't imagine what its like with a 500, 750 gallon tank. That's probably when the professionals are called. Friends sometimes can't help or won't because of different reasons. I also gave a short notice to everyone which didn't help.
 
i have a few things to say....maybe you've moved so many times before your friends are tired, you did say i have to move "again". second when i had to move i had 6 friends come by but all 6 big strong guys was intimidated by my tank, not the couches or boxes or 3 flat screen tv's the tank. each one was scared they may drop their end and they all knew how much that tank means to me so i guess the pressure was overwhelming. even though we got it done they was nervous so maybe your friends feel the same. and lastly i've seen a few people here on mfk ask other mfkers in their area for physical help and gotten it so maybe you can do that since we all share the same interest respect and concern for our tanks....if i was closer i'd help and im sure there's a few mfkers in chicago that would if you just ask---beer and pizza would help though....good luck
 
Day labor your in chicago it cant be much harder to find them their. I use them all the time their are 3-4 places within 20 minutes of me were they wait by the side of the road.
