so last night i showed up at this guys house to remove an old empty oil tank. (as a side note my yard DOES take oil tanks they just need to be cut in half) but anyway before coming i spoke with him on the phone he told me the tank isnt extremely heavy and i should just bring one more person but it is gonna need to come up some stairs. what he failed to tell me was that the tank needed some pieces cut off in order to get out of his basement and that the tank really weighs a good 500 pounds. me and my worker took an hour to move it to the staircase. after another hour of trying to get it on the first step the guy decides to call his friends . we finally get it out of the basement and into my vans after 3 hours of work but then my night turned great and the work all seemed worth it when he mentioned he also had a 650 pound boiler that needed to be moved next week and one of his friends has an aluminum shed he just took apart with so many pieces he doesnt think itll fit in my van and the other friend picks up scrap cars with his tow truck but doesnt take any scrap metal so he was looking for someone too pick up the scrap metal and he said i can be his guy. i gave them all flyers and told them see them soon and hauled the tank back home im getting ready to cut it up now and make a trip to the yard and see how much it really weighs..
