In preparation for the builders we moved all the blue stone slabs from both sides of the house and took them to the back of the plot. The very, very small ones I could lift but the largest were monsters. The biggest one we moved was roughly 48″ x 18″ x 6″ and as bluestone weights 162.5 lbs. a cubic foot that stone could have been around 485lbs.
We moved them on a sack truck and I added a third wheel and had the truck lying horizontally to spread the weight. It still flattened the pneumatic tires so we had to pump them up nice and hard. It wasn’t fun moving them and a few choice words were uttered during the process. We won’t be moving those for a while.
We still have the biggest to move (last photo) which we’ll do after the O+ festival.
Get the builders to move the last one. ;o)
I’m waiting until Matthew comes to visit 🙂
