How we get those big boulders up.


Norman has found a big chunk of limestone bedrock that he wants to use near the upper right side of the chamber.
( We've used some huge stones in this project ! )


After we bring it down the ramp on the dolly, I 'fridge-walk' it over to the scaffolding plank


Then tip it on to the plank


Tumble it up plank. ( careful not to let it drop suddenly and break the plank )


Roll it again


Oh, you're watching ?


Repositioning so that the boulder will roll into place the right way up.


Here comes the big push-pull


Pivot it on the board end.


One final twist.


I lift and Norman removes the board


Then snug it up to the left side of the big cornerstone.


Perfect fit. Voila!
