Must be easier than it was going up, but still, what's the favoured way?
It's a GW 100 Hideaway
Looks like it weighs half a Motorway


Would you separate the sections?
 
Those things are bloody heavy.. Put my back out last time I lifted one on to the van..

Got a window with a low ledge? :wink:

Or tell the next ***** to pester you for scrap that it is free
 
Hire a lad for the day :D

If not strip it down to the HEX, carry,throw from window or push, its still going to be heavy.
 
Three or four bods. Done loads mainly old e types. Just take your time,I have a guy who comes and picks them up for nowt but obviously give him and his mate a hand to get to it his van 8)
 
They get heavier the older you get :x , if your on your jack you are going to have to split it but 2 (who know how to lift and carry) should be able to comfortably take it down a flight at a time.
12 foot long by 30 inch high double old style rad me and apprentice coming down 3 storey look at him and think no feking way will he hold it. So window open gets his ass down there to stop anyone walking past.
. It Took a fair bit of digging out of the grass.
I was just going to sign it and leave it and call it modern art. :lol:
 
2 scaffold boards on stairs, tie strong rope on boiler and gradually let it slide down, then repeat all the way to ground floor.

ps don't stand behind boiler.

If that fails hide it somewhere :lol:
 
We had to refit the catering department of the local tech .
Foremen would show up once a week because it was such a shi#y job then hide.
2 of us got left to do the final job dismantle a 2 ton pastry oven and get area ready for the new one. Lot of sniggering at us as it was on the 3rd floor.
Thank fek it was half term because it went straight out the window in what ever size bits we could carry and throw. Tried to protect the slabs with the 6 foot square side cheeks but smased quite a few all in all took about 4 hours everything cleared into skip, next day spent in bed and overtime claimed :lol:
 
I would chuck a multi coloured Rug on it and call it a post modernistic feature

:)

works for that flouncy ponce lawerence llleywyn bowen

:)
 
I've just the lad for you Chris. He doesn't speak any English and you may have to widen a few doors to get him in! :lol:
