Anyone looking to do a few hours of old-fashioned heavy weight training this weekend in suburbia just north of Toronto?? For those of you downtown I am 55 km from Union Station. Ride up do some weights and ride home.
I need to move 30 metric tonnes of stone from my front yard to my backyard by wheelbarrow. That is right - about 66,138 pounds. At 150 pounds per wheelbarrow that is 441 wheelbarrows full.
The access is too narrow for any machinery so I am reduced to the wheelbarrow. Send me a pm if you are interested.
Trust me - I looked into it. The slope on the side of the house is just wide eonough but not stable enough for a bobcat. even the little baby one that is only like 36" wide.
Haven’t you seen Robert Redford in “The Last Castle”? Haul all those stones, by hand, one-by-one and you could end up looking like RobRed.
I’m not gonna give you any of those “I’d help ya but …” lines, b/c I’m not gonna help ya. I will sympathize with your situation. It is gonna suck.
What’s the situation with the narrow opening? If it is a gated fence, I’d take a section of the fence down, and rebuild that section. I have to ask, did you think about the transport situation before purchase? I’m asking, just to know if this was expected or a shocker.
Check out “Dinosaur Training” for inspiration. http://brookskubik.com/ (One of the best books I have read. Motivating.)
You need to locate “damn,” who told us in the “Have you ever done anything iron-worthy?” thread that he excavated a basement beneath his existing house - with a shovel and wheelbarrow.
