Come Again?

Come again come along.

We are back using the come along to move Gunther. It was a challenge getting it up onto the dolly, so we pulled out the heavy equipment. We hooked one chain to a sturdy tree.

Chain to tree

The other chain was hooked to the rock.

Chain to rock

You can’t really see the rock in that picture. Here it is.

The rock

As you can see, at this point we have unceremoniously winched Gunther up onto the dolly. It took a bit of cranking and jacking and saying words like “shucks” and “darn”, but we got ‘er done.

Then began the trip down to the front yard.

On the dolly

We have substituted the rope for the chain to try to maintain control of the direction of the roll.

By the way, I cannot claim innocence in this move since I was the official “rope puller” this time. How quickly we fall.

It is a long trip down the hill.

The rock far away

Move dolly. Swap plywood. Move dolly. Swap plywood.

Finally we turned the corner.

Going other direction

And then, Gunther was unceremoniously dumped onto its destination.

In place

I am hoping that we are now done with moving rocks.
