Moving a Pool Table at Altitude

  Yesterday, we moved a Beringer Ambrosia pool table that we had sold to a customer almost two years ago. It was moving from the Jefferson/Como area over to south Fairplay. The overall move itself wasn't too far in between homes nor was it very difficult. That is, until you start moving the heavy pieces around.
  Jefferson/Como sits about 9800 ft high. The first home we got to (the pool table dismantle house) had easy access to the pool table. It sat on the ground level and was the first thing you saw upon entering the home. Not only that, we were able to pull up about 20 ft away from the door. This ended up being a cake walk.
  What we didn't realize was the new home where the table was going to be setup was well over 10500 ft in elevation. Not only that but we didn't get such a lucky walk. In fact we had to go around the house and up 2, count them 2, flights of stairs to the upper level of the house! At this elevation, for two Denver boys, it was like someone from sea level coming to Denver to move a pool table! But there is even less air up above 10,000!
  By the time we had gotten the frame up in place we were a bit fatigued. As if that wasn't bad enough we still had 3 pieces of slate that each weighted about 150 pounds apiece to go. After every piece we carried up, we needed a good sit down rest to catch our breath and keep the lightheadedness away.
  After a longer than usual carry into the home, we finally managed through it and got a perfect pool table setup in place from one of our very own Beringer Billiards pool tables. We forgot to take pictures of the table but managed to snap some while on the road of the scenery from the truck.
