Have to move my son's new gun safe down a flight of stairs into the basement.

Got it into the house, braced the basement stair to make sure that was safe. How in the world does one slide it down the stairs safely?

Not a job for amateurs Harvey! I think you need an electric stair cart like movers or appliance guys have. I'm not sure I'd try to tackle that thing without something like that.

Big job

I ran mine down on a appliance dolly, one guy on the dolly (big guy)

Then I ran a sling under the safe and looped up the stairs to 3 guys on each side of the rope, so they took the brunt of the load.

I may have had a guy or two in front of the safe coming down the stairs too.

I had like 8 or 9 guys

Be safe....pardon the pun!

Don't know that I am cool with a couple guys in front of the safe going down the stairs. If one on the top side were to have any issue's, the guy's on the bottom could have serious issues.

I believe I am going to find a gun safe mover that is insured to be as safe as possible.

Kid had 4 big guys to move it down and they thought that would not work safely.

It well could work the way you did it Wensel but I am afraid of what could happen if one of the guy's had issues as it went down the stairs.

I have one of the biggest safes made and recently moved. Manny's piano movers delivered it the first time and moved it for me. All I had to do was write the check and follow their instructions to stay out of the way. They did a professional job, no marks on walls, scuffs, dinged doorways, or anything, and they put it right where I wanted it. Worth every penny to use experienced pros.

Got ahold of a moving guy I know and he is going to check it out and maybe do it this evening.

Not worth the risk of another getting hurt bad or damaging anything while moving it.

My son and I moved my safe upstairs. The door to his room is at the top of the stairs so I bolted a boat winch to a 2X8, took the handle off the winch so we could use a socket and ratchet, set the board and winch in the doorway, and up we went. It went extremely smooth and I wouldn't hesitate to take it down the same way.

Best advise I have seen and the stay out of the way is a must when it comes to those guys.

      When it said. "The foolish man, builds his house upon the sand"? 🫣   Just got back from 10days on the golf of America.  By Panama city Florida.

      Running on empty at dark on a sled is definitely stress-inducing. Been there, done that. Glad that you made it out.

      Eagle swoops are always a hoot to watch.   The snow is mostly gone on the lake. Ice melt made things pretty wet but the ice is obviously still very thick.

      On the South Shore...  The big question:  "How is the ice up at Lake of the Woods?"  That is for each individual resort or outfitter who operates an ice road or trail to answer, but overall, ice conditions are still very good and ice fishing is going strong!  As always, stay on the marked ice  roads and trails for safety.     Being up on the Canadian border, the colder temps Lake of the Woods enjoys vs much of the region combined with three feet of ice makes a big difference.  Fish houses are allowed unattended overnight through March 31st and it sounds like a good number of resorts will be fishing through the month, but ultimately, Mother Nature will determine that.     Regarding the fishing, overall, very good reports for walleyes, saugers and perch.  There is a strong population of smaller walleyes and saugers in the lake which bodes well for the future, but in the meantime, anglers are sorting through them to catch their keepers.   The one-two punch of jigging and deadsticking remains the most effective technique. Jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head or a lipless crankbait on the jigging line is the ticket.  On the deadstick, a live minnow a foot off the bottom on a plain red hook or medium sized ice fishing jig is catching a lot of fish.   Using electronics is super helpful.  Many nice walleyes are swimming through suspended, keep an eye out.   Anglers tip-up fishing for pike have had a great week and it should continue to get even better.  Suckers, frozen alewife and smelt are working well. Putting baits 1 foot under the ice or right off bottom seems to be effective this week.  Most common depths, 9 - 15 feet. On the Rainy River...  The Rain River is still frozen with no signs of open water yet.  Every year can be different, but on average, the Rainy River will start opening up around the third week of March.  The first boat ramp suitable for larger boats is Nelson Park in Birchdale.  We will keep you posted.    As of March 1st, walleyes and saugers are catch and release only on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.     Make plans now for sturgeon season.  Once the open water appears, the fish are super active.  Here are the seasons...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th.  Up at the Northwest Angle...  Fishing remains very good up at the Angle and the ice is in good shape as well.  As on the south end, resorts monitor ice roads and trails daily and there are still some great ice fishing opportunities available.     Walleyes, saugers, perch, and pike are showing up in good numbers.  Those targeting crappies are reporting good numbers of fish.  Work through a NW Angle resort for ice fishing opportunities on this part of the lake. The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well. Whether booking a day house rental, sleeper fish house, or resort stay, there is still plenty of time to plan a late-season ice fishing adventure.

      Looks like a shallow lake with some potential.  Keepable crappies, decent bluegills and some nice perch according to the last survey (2015). Susan Lake   With a max depth of 10 feet, I’d want to know a little more about it before I’d start drilling holes.  Could be a nice little adventure though.

      Jeff and I fished Saturday and half day Sunday, targeting whitefish, ciscos, crappies, and perch.  The bite was tough for us.  We ecked out a few, but nothing special.  Highlight of the weekend was the sled ride into Wolf Lake and having an eagle swoop in and eat a rock bass we had on the ice.  All in all, not a bad way to waste time.
