A friend donated this old freezer to the Liberty House. We went to pick it up in downtown Seattle in an alley. I lifted on the side to test the weight & found it taking all my strength to lift just one side. There was about 2 gallons of water from the melted ice in it & even though it would make no real noticeable difference to the amazing weight this thing has, I figured no additional weight was needed. I lifted the side up & placed it on it's side enough to let the water out. After letting it down, I had serious reservations about this venture. I wandered back & forth looking at the van we had to get it to & the place it lay. We decided to try it & used the strength of 2 people & walked each corner forward, one side at a time. This got it to the gate. Time to stop & calculate again, large freezer for the house, or continued pain free back & knees for a few more years. We went for the freezer & the pain. We hefted one end, the light end into the van, I then shouldered the other end into the van. This is truly the heaviest object I have ever moved. We still need to get it out when we get home too.
