Response: We can do that. I'll get those precise dimensions today ... not sure how I'll weigh the thing, but I'll come up with something. (8/18/2007)
Response: if i could get a rough weight i assume 2 people can easily move it. does it need to be hauled in a van or can it be wrapped in plastic and a tarp? i would deliver it same day. i just want to know what vehicle to take. (8/18/2007)
Response: Sorry to be slow getting back to you--had a busy weekend.
Unwrapped, the chest is 46" long, 18" tall and 19" deep. Couldn't weigh it, but I (a 55-year-old woman) was able to lift it with no more trouble than I have with a 40lb bag of dogfood. It's more awkward than heavy, because of its size and the fact that it has no hand-holds.
I thought I'd wrap it in an old blanket with a plastic drop cloth on the outside, secured with strapping or duct tape. Then it would be ready for either van or flatbed transport. Sound okay to you?
We don't live in Wisconsin, but are here clearing out the estate of an elderly parent. We had hoped to leave the state by August 27. Any chance we might be able to make arrangements to get you the chest before then? Or if that doesn't work, can we arrange an unattended pickup by leaving it in a unlocked garage? (8/19/2007)
Response: YEAH IF YOU WANT TO WRAP IT UP WOULD BE GREAT. WHAT WAY ARE YOU GOING WHEN YOU LEAVE ? ANY CHANCE YOU GO THROUGH ANTIGO ? IF NOT YOU COULD LEAVE IT SOMEWHERE LIKE A GARAGE OR TRUCK AND I CAN PICK IT UP NO BIG DEAL. WHO WILL BE PAYING THE SHIPPING FEES ? I WILL PUT MY BID IN MY ID ON HERE IS AUTO50 . (8/20/2007)
Response: Trouble is, once we hitch up our 5th wheel trailer, there's nowhere on the truck where we can put the chest, and not enough floorspace inside the trailer. So we can either make a trip from Three Lakes to Antigo before we leave, or leave it in the garage. Depends on whether you want to have it hanging around until you're ready to head to the UP.
The shipping fee will be paid by the recipient in the Soo, Eva Baker. She's planning to have a check for you, unless you prefer another method of payment. (8/20/2007)
