I've had to disassemble HUPs and waltz them thru the house, but I agree, they're not that bad.. slow and steady is the best approach. And yes, the things I use to just throw around now seem to catch me off balance more than they used to. I'm blaming it on these shoes. db<br></div><div><br></div><div><br>Dan Brown<br>Foxfire Energy Corp.<br>Renewable Energy Systems<br>(802)-483-2564<br><a href="http://www.Foxfire-Energy.com">www.Foxfire-Energy.com</a><br>NABCEP #092907-44</div><div><br><br></div>

<font face="arial" size="4"><div style="margin:0;padding:0;">My favorite "technique" is getting the customer to take one of the two handles while I take the other... but in a pinch, yes... I carefully life these alone.
