We had a tough job to tackle on Monday, Giles has been wanting to move the largest of the stone troughs for a while, so we decided to give it a go. First we had to dig out any plants and empty it, not a task for the faint hearted! It was mostly filled with rubble so Nikki and I shovelled and dug the big bits out, throwing the brick fragments into the dumper truck. Finally after about an hour we caught a glimpse of the bottom and carried on until the job was done. Next came the difficult bit, actually moving the thing, I have no idea what it weighs but it took five of us prising and using the roller method used to construct Stone Henge to achieve it, with the tractor pushing from one end before we got it into its new position, probably only twice the length of it from where it was. A full and energetic afternoons work but very satisfying too!
