Congrats on the house! Use the handtruck, but get a bunch of old wooly blankets and strap them on the outside. If you are worried, even wrap on the underneath the metal handtruck place and bottom of the cabinet. The tires of the handtruck should be fine if they are rubber, but if at all possible, use a handtruck with inflatable tires rather than hard tires. |

The handtruck BadMouth linked should be perfect. :cheers: I have this one and love it: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/super-brute-900-lb-convertible-dual-purpose-hand-truck-green/184122.ip?navAction=push |

My old man has one of those hand trucks. Works like a champ. |

The same Harbor Freight that sells hand trucks also sells moving blankets pretty cheap - typically $5-6 with coupon. They're surprisingly good, though not as nice as the high-end ones commercial van lines usually use. Big wooly blankets work well enough, too, but real moving blankets are super handy for this kind of thing. As for the floor, cardboard is not a bad idea. Contractor paper or red rosin paper is cheaper and offers decent protection, too, especially if you don't anticipate any small rocks. For carpet, you can get stick-on carpet runner film. |

I may go with the moving blankets. They are soft enough that I can put a cab on it sideways, slide it to the edge of the stairway and then bring it down the carpeted area. Thanks for the suggestions! DeLuSioNaL29 |
