Moved some biggish bits of bluestone yesterday. Feeling that today. 2 more to go. One of them is about 1.5m long 30cm wide and 20cm high. Chuckin' it in a bluestone slab weight calculator it's over 250kgs lol.
Not sure what to do with the big one (or how to move it safely). Tempted to bury it a bit, upright in the middle of the lawn as a sort of a space odyssey monolith thing for no reason.
I vote for mini-Stonehenge. If you have round poles could you roll it on several of those?
A mini-stonehenge would be awesome.
Yea the plan is to use poles. All I need now is courage.
Do you have a helper? Donβt want 250kg on your toe by accident
Thankfully (!) had a helper.
The toe would've been very upset if that happened.
do it. And then carve Homer Simpson's face in it
That sounds like a really cool idea!
