Any tricks to picking up and moving a 450 lb. stove several feet down a hallway and then onto a raised hearth pad without floor damage and sustaining back injuries ?
My Hearthstone Heritage has been sitting in the hallway (out of the delivery crate) for 2 weeks and I plan to move it Friday. I have a couple of guys standing by and a 600 lb. rated hand cart but it's not made for a bulky object.
I though of placing several round posts or even limbs under it, then rolling it into position; kind of how the Egyptians built the pyramids.
Maybe its a dumb question but I don't want to damage the stove's undercarriage or its enamel finish. This thing was expensive......
I do have a 6 ton floor jack, which might come in handy if it pins some unfortunate helper to the floor.
Thanks guys.
