While sitting here waiting for the mill to arrive, I've been Googling about ways of moving the mill to the basement. I think I found one that I can do mostly myself. Just to be safe, I'd want help with the large main casting.

There's a straight shot from my garage to the basement stairs with a small landing at the top. I only have 5 stairs to go down versus 16 the guy in the link had. This looks like a much better and safer option, and less work, than trying to transport the pieces from the garage around to the back side of the house and in through a patio door. I have a split level house so the yard slopes on both sides making it difficult to transport anything heavy around to the back.
