Moving Who?
Jennifred.
Remember back last fall, when the kids dug out a couple of boulders from under the garden?….. and gave them names?….. Here’s a pointer to remind you.
Well Jennifred and Geraldine sat outside the hole all winter, and now it is time to move them to the front yard to serve as a decorative centerpiece.
How do you move a rock that big?
First, you build a dolly that is specially designed and built to handle the weight. I helped with that part.
Then, you gently place the boulder onto the dolly on a sheet of plywood. I didn’t help with that part.
The plywood keeps the wheels from sinking into the dirt.
By the way, that plywood cost me 70 bucks! Thanks, Covid-19!
Then alternating between two pieces of plywood, you slowly move the dolly down the hill.
Down past the garden
All the way down to the front yard.
Oh, and the tent is new too. It keeps the kids from sweltering in the hot sun.
The tent was expensive.
This project is costing me a bundle.
Did I mention that the tent was expensive?
OK. Around the corner.
Across the yard.
And…… that is where everybody ran out of gas. Well, everybody but me. I felt fine. So I took the initiative to cover the rock with a tarp so that nobody will try to steal our rock. That would be awful.
The tarp was cheap.
And that is how we moved Jennifred from the back yard to the front yard.
Well, OK then, that is how they moved Jennifred from the back yard to the front yard. I got tired just taking these pictures.
