skip to main skip to sidebar Sustainability Blog I am recovering from affluenza. Tuesday, March 25, 2008 Building with urbanite The elevation change between the two yards, all of about a foot, used to be held in place with a great chunk of concrete. The willow has broken it into chunks weighing from 500 pounds to well over 1800 pounds. We used 5 men to move the first, smallest piece about 8 feet. This piece we used two men and my wife, Xena. Aaron provided excellent supervisory support. This block was heavier, and we moved it about three times further. It is now a nice little sitting bench at the end of one of the raised beds. "The difference," said Karl, "Is this time I knew we could do it." Yeh. The difference is this time there was a girl on the team. (She's camera shy, so in the photos she's the one behind the camera. Karl and I are just posing. We really can't move that 600 pound chunk of urbanite on our own, even with the rollers made from the plum tree trunk) Posted by Robert van de Walle at 1:27 PM postCount('3466333265881156737');
