just throw rugs.....gonna throw 'em right outside, we learned from the last ''natural'' flood....14 inches of rain in 2 weeks gave us 4 inches in the basement. We put everything on pallets since then.
lookin'at a grand installed........600 for the unit barring any trouble 400 for labor w/me helping where I can.

A grand?! Gf gotta new one two years ago, $350 installed. But she got free labor; hadda new furnace put in, and the guy said if she'd just get one that was on sale at Menard's (kinda like a Home Depot, big place), he'd put it in with the furnace. That was after she got the estimate for the furnace, before she mentioned the water heater, so he didn't hide it in the estimate. Family business, big outfits wouldn't do that.

Will do Doc! Gotta protect the tater tots!! I know we prolly didn't make national news but had a 360,000 acre fire (biggest in nation at the time) right out our front door( actually about a half mile, but close enough!) Scary stuff! That area now resembles da moon. Ranchers are hurtin (Guberment won't let em graze)

Late lunch break.
Mine is 41" between the bike and car wheels (tire sidewall to tire sidewalll), 62.5" from the car fender to the left motor jug; won't fit most bike trailers or car trailers. Should fit in 7ft wide enclosed cargo trailers, might fit in some 6ft wides, but it'd be tight through the door.
When I got my older one (non-running till I fixed it up a bit), was going to rent a trailer, but none of the U-Hauls were wide enough. Son in law borrowed a fairly big trailer, but it didn't fit in it, either; we pulled the sidecar off, barely fit in his pickup at an angle, and tied the bike down like a standard bike in the trailer. If I hadn't been able to ride the '07 home, probably would've passed on it, was a pita to get the older one home with a pickup and light trailer.
