Help Moving a Kiln on Friday or Saturday

[Kathy Luglio]

Someone is donating a glass kiln for the glass fusing area!  That is great, but we need help moving the kiln out of the donor's basement..Can anyone help us get the kiln up the stairs to a van on either Friday or Saturday after 5pm? 

Movers straps might be a help, too.  

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully you'll get some younger, stronger volunteers, but if not, I can probably help.

How heavy is it and where is it located?

Thanks,

Mike T.

Hello everyone,

In terms of a kiln, we tried making one to shape plexiglass… didn’t work.  I used three portable stove-top two-burner units from Wal-Mart.  Cost was around $60 for the three.

If anyone wants to buy them, they’re practically brand new, in the boxes — $30 for all three.  Steve, sa...@avtutorials.com .

The kilns are near 3rd and Layton.  I don't have exact address at moment.  One is heavy, around 200 lbs.  The other one is easy to lift, or so I'm told.  We are meeting at Norwich around 5pm tonight (Friday ) to see if moving the heavy one is doable, or if this is just a reconnaissance mission to figure out how to transport it.  Any willing helpers would be appreciated!  I personally am not a good candidate for carrying heavy loads.

Thanks.

Update: The kilns have been collected and transported to Lenox.
