The main shipment just arrived. Because I live on a canyon, the truck couldn't come too close, so I helped the driver bring the load down.
Here's he getting it ready. It's the last load of the day for him.

Here it comes down toward me on the lift gate. I almost dropped the camera as the pallet jack started to run downhill.
I got to "steady" the front while he guided from the back. IOW, if it got away from us, I was in front of 1000 pounds.
Out.
Safe in the garage.

A look from another angle. That's a lot of stuff!
Beatrice (the car) doesn't like to be crowded like that.
Out.
The full package--NOT! Three amps are in the back. Where's the fourth? Where's the SDP-5? Where's the...?
There are still four boxes unaccounted for. Maybe later tonight...
Out.
It doesn't look like much of a slope until you try to steady 1000 pounds and provide resistance. I felt like a very puny man trying to keep it slow and steady. I was constantly worried about getting my foot under the pallet.
But all's well that ends well, so now I'm a happy camper. After my back recovers and I get something to eat, it'll be time to inspect the shipment for unseen damage. One of the S1S-EX boxes looks a little crushed.
Out.
I must be on the wrong forum... I could swear that I saw Ti-Dome unload ... HORNS!!!... Nope, impossible... i've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone for awhile
WOW! Very cool, can't wait to see the finished room.
That is a very steep slope with anything heavy. We have a slope like that and just a wheelbarrow of rocks can be very hard to manage.
Keep posting the pics please, it's fun to watch
So now I have 20 boxes in my garage, and I went through every one to check for any possible surprises. Luckily, 95% are in perfect condition. Unfortunately, one of the S5160 amps took a heavy hit on the back side and will have to be replaced.
It's depressing to see, but at least it'll be taken care of. The darn thing weighs 90 pounds, so if it got dropped, it was bound to self-destruct.
Out.
All this was inside the bag. Every speaker connection is loose.
Out.
That's a bummer, I hope you don't have to wait too long for the replacement.
I can't tell you how much more fun it is to see those pallets of gear knowing that I don't have to install it all! In the past, seeing a stack like that simply meant that deadlines were coming, and I had to start hustling.
Best of luck with the rest of the process, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

The whole point of shipping truck freight is to avoid situations like this.

Oh wait... I see the "Thank You For Giving UPS The Pleasure Of Effing Up Yet Another Fine Product" sticker in one of the photos... my mistake.
That's a plus.
Unfortunately, you won't know for sure if any electronics have cracked boards until you fire them up. Hopefully you'll have none of that.
absolutely amazing what Brown can do for you. How is this even this possible? Sorry to see this Doug, but as we've learned over years you know how to handle things.
can wait to read about this once you get it up and running. Once again you've given me some ideas
all the best
