The stair hinges are too narrow to go that way.You are only talking about 150 pounds. You are WAY safe with those materials.
But now seeing your conditions, I think I would have attached a couple of 2x4s to the stairs as a guide and used the pully setup to slide the water heater up the stairs. Either leave the water heater in the box or cover the stairs with a canvas tarp, moving blankets, or whatever to keep the water heater from being scratched.
A lot less power to get it up and the old one down and safer too.
Too much liability.Hire a local football player to push while you pull up the ladder.
Yes. Easier to lift than I thought it would be.So, it worked as planned?
The pan is sitting on the attic floor.Did you just lift it into the pan? What is the secret?
Get you some strong help or rig some pulleys. Pulleys and rope are expensive to use just once……That garage pic is exactly the same location and even color of my neighbors garage, where im doing the w/h install!
