The Rock!
That afternoon we got a call from
a landscaping place we had visited earlier in the week inquiring
about a rock to mark our address and driveway. We knew the rock
would be around $200 and we figured it would be around $100 to have
it engraved with our name & address. We certainly weren't expecting
it to cost $1000 however! After some thought we decided it would
be nice to just get the rock and add the text later, if at all.
After all, a rock is a good landmark all by itself. So off we went
to the rock yard to pick out a good sized rock. It didn't take us
long to find a 3/4 ton beauty that measured about 5 ft by 3 ft.
And they would even load it into our truck for us! |

Mike F. first wrapped a packing blanket on the rock to protect the surface, then hooked the chain around it and the pallet it was sitting on. |

He slowly lifted the rock while Micheal quickly drove the truck out from under it. |

|
|
|
Then he carried it over to the area where Micheal had cleared a flat spot in the berm. |

They set it down to remove the pallet, then tried tipping it into position. It almost went.... but then fell over at the last minute. Time for plan B..... |
