At approximately 9pm tonight, I'll pull up at the House of Exile with a 180-gallon, 7-foot-long aquarium. I will need assistance moving it up the steps to the front porch. I must then rush away to return the rental truck.

So far, I have two volunteers. I will definitely need at least two more, possibly three more. I would have asked earlier, but there have been family health issues, so I have had an unpredictable schedule. If you have time tonight, please help me -- it's for Fluffy. :)

Please contact my cellphone (via voice or text), unless you have already emailed me. Thanky.

[livejournal.com profile] sadira is too good to me. We got the wood for the stand.

We found the best Home Depot employee in the Universe. He agreed to precision-cut all the parts to exact length, against company policy (Home Depot says they're only allowed quick "rough cuts"). He answered my questions. He didn't give me any shit. He measured, set, re-measured, cut, trimmed... I saw this with unbelieving eyes. He refused to give me a charge slip for the labor, meaning the cashier couldn't charge me for it. I slipped him a ten. I should have given him a twenty, considering that he saved me the labor of cutting (fucking up) the wood myself, the cost of inconveniencing others further, the price and time of a truck rental. Shit, if I see that guy, I'm buying him a beer.

I didn't fetch the tank. Not enough lead time to generate volunteers, plus the whole driving/buying/driving/pick-up/driving/drop-off/driving/drop-off/driving thing would have been too rushed.
