put plywood on the stairs, lay the safe on it's side
attach a chain around the safe
drop the chain down through a window and hook to a 4X4
gently pull the safe up the stairs, then stand and push into place.
Once upstairs use the plywood to repair the damage to the window sill
use rakes and shovels to fill the pits in your yard from the 4X4
use the contense of the safe to buy your wife an "I'm Sorry gift".
see simple as 1-2-9

If it is a heavy safe I say be very careful. You say 2x8 stringers. Now when they cut the rise and run out of each 2x8 they now become about 3" thick. Are these outside steps up to a second floor apt? 600 safe, 3 guys at 200 lbs each and the live load that goes along with moving the safe = disaster on stairs. Please be very careful.

Moving involves so much planning and forethought that the last thing on your mind on moving day could be safety... I guess every moving company can do that ;)

Here's the phone number of a guy who has moved my 50 cu. ft. safe twice. He's excellent--just called him and he's still in business. Name's Lyle.
