Ideas for Moving a Heavy Tub Up Stairs?

As previously discussed, we were pleased as punch when we found a beautiful old ceramic tub out in Connecticut few months ago for $1,000. Our GC had promised us that he could get anything up the two flights if stairs to the master bathroom. Now the thing (which must weigh 600-700 pounds) has been sitting in the front hall of parlor floor for a couple of months and he is running out of ideas. We considered taking a page out of the ancient Egyptians’ book (who would transport obelsisks by rolling them on logs), but it doesn’t look like that’s going to work. We’ve also started calling around to piano movers to see if they can do it. Does anyone else have any brilliant ideas?
