[QUOTE="oleshooter308, post: 3671161, member: 44911"] I feel your pain. Mine is halfway up above the linen closet (about 6 feet off floor). 40 gallon. I'd have to be5 in the attic to flush it out! It went out about 10 years back, and the old one was gypped up. I bet that thing weighed in at 300 lbs! My son was a big a**ed linebacker/ weight lifter in high school then. It like to killed us both getting it down even using a swivel pulley with a rope brake I made. About halfway down, my wooden rope brake broke and he yelled "Move Dad! I lost my grip". Lol, so he throws all 255 pounds against it like a football practice dummy and wedges it against the door frame, and we finally hog wrestled it to the floor. New one going up was like a feather pillow compared to that. Anyway we danced the old one through the kitchen where 1 leg broke off it, and out the back door. It fell off to one side and it laid there for about 2 months before I chained it and dragged it to the alley and talked the city into picking it up. The "new" one rumbled the other day and made me look up. I'm 66 now and just hoping it holds out as long as I do! Then it will be somebody else's problem! [/QUOTE]
