Default Assistance needed, Dallas area

I got overcome the other day with anvil lust (it happens, even to the best of folks), and bought an anvil I've been wanting for years. Unfortunately, it's about twent miles west of Dallas TX, and I'm nowhere near there. Not even close. In fact, I'm in the Virgin Islands, so you can imagine how this is a bit of a problem.

I need someone in the Dallas area who might be willing to pick up that anvil and take it to a freight company for me, so it can be shipped. It will need to be strapped to a pallet and dropped at he shipping depot, the shippers will take it from there and bill me at this end. Naturally, I'll pay any costs incurred, plus something for the help.

Is there anyone out there who might be able to help me with this? I can be reached at: rich.waugh@gmail.com if you might be able to help me out with this. Thanks!

I just happen to be in that area and can take it to work to ship out on a pallet and banded without much hassle, though it might take me a day or two now because of the ice. I'll send you an e-mail, but thought i'd leave a quick note here as well.

Man, that would be be a real help to me, Candidquality! There's no real big hurry, either; anytime in the next fifteen minutes should do fine. (grin)

I'll wait for your email, so we don't take up Glenn's bandwidth.

That is what I like about this hobby and/or proffession of ours. Virtually everyone I have met up with is willing to help out the other folks. Whether it is sharing methods or techniques or shipping large pieces of steel.

Keep up the good work folks.
