Dunno if you called the contact I pm’ed you with. He has shit that knocks buildings down, bobcats, excavators etc… Not sure how much or if he’s still looking for side jobs but worth a try. ---

Throw it on Craigslist for free. I posted a huge wooden swingset for my mom and we had 2 rednecks hauling away in 2 hours. Just specify that it’s their problem to move it. ---

Love the avatar. It’s almost worth the CL to watch some bumpkins try and load their 1984 cutlass trunk with a 800lb rock. Cletus and crew. Get a lawnchair and popcorn out. ---

I would be willing to give it a shot, but I am guessing it will take about 2-3 hours for me to do. PM me. ---
