In the house was the worst for me. Mainly the lack of room in spots to get all your help, helping... In the wide open where everyone could grab a hold was fine, tight corners and stuff like that were only room for 2 people or so was were it sucked.

That's where a four wheeled dolly comes in handy.

There are a ton of tricks and methods to moving a safe, from winches to golf balls. Putting plywood over carpet can make it easier.

Especially for tight corners, the golf balls or similar can be a godsend. It doesn't have to be tilted, making it smaller.
Post a pic of yours. I might be getting a bigger one soon.

Word. Still have lots of things worth a lot hidden which isn't locked up. I can live without it but I've got it all but ft Knox with someone always there and armed, cameras, remote viewing, alarm, and older neighbor retired watching my house. My pet Lion hasn't made it over here yet though.

The guys that delivered mine had a floor dolly and then straps that went under it to a harness around their waists. They made quick work of getting it into place. Way quicker than me shoving my old one out of the room by just sliding it on the floor..lol

So they did what we told you to do and it was really easy? Except you paid them? :llama:

They also had a truck with a lift on the back to get started. Just that part would have sucked for me

True. Mine was delivered to the garage via liftgate and pallet jack before I had to take over.
