I had mentioned that I needed to move the safe. Here’s how it went: In an effort to preserve the safe, and my 60+ year old body, I rolled it onto a 17 inch square piece of plywood (the wheels turn easily and silently), levered up one side at a time and put non slip bed wheel cups under the wheels, wrapped it in padding, got a hand truck under the plywood, and tied it in place. With a little help from my son, I easily rolled it out of the house, down three steps, and up a ramp into the UHaul truck with the rest of our furniture. Carefully tied in place, it rode the 35 miles to our new home without problems.
The movers I hired to unload the truck took one look, asked where I wanted it, picked it up and carried into the house.
This safe has lived most of it’s life in closets: ours, my wife’s parents’, her grandparents’. Now it’s in our Family Room. It’s too beautiful to hide and too heavy to be worth stealing.
