It's in!! I'll post a final shot later tonight. Thanks so very much to everyone who came to help!! Couldn't have done it without you all!

Built up supports a little and flipped on its face. Then built it up a bunch more and slid the dolly contraption underneath. Then lowered down onto the Dolly's and strapped it to the Dolly's.

One of the dolly wheels got stuck in a driveway crack and got destroyed so we strapped on another dolly at the end.

Took it over to the edge of the hill into the back yard and I backed up the truck to that area. Then took my climbing gear and set up a repel so I could repel it down the hill while they stabilized it. Turns out it didn't take very much to keep it from taking off.

Then just leap frogged the 4x8 sheets of plywood all the way across the yard. That was definitely a lot more tiring than I was expecting.

The tank was only 1" smaller then the doorway so that was a super tight squeeze getting it safely through.
alt="" />
alt="" />
alt="" />
Once in front of the stand we tipped it onto soft supports while it leaned against the table. Then removed the Dolly's and straps.
alt="" />
Then everyone lifted the tank up onto the front of the stand.
alt="" />
We were having problems with the blue plastic getting stuck to the tank and peeling back so we ended up using a pvc pipe to help it roll to the back and not catch. The we lifted to pull the pipe out without having anyone have to reach into the danger zone.

alt="" />
Took a pretty good amount of wiggling to get it into just the right spot.
Whole process took about 2 hours before we broke out the pizza and beer. Course it took me all day Saturday to prep and about 4 hours to clean up after everyone left.
Final pick coming soon!
