I called Mike, from Do-It-All Davis, and he came over today to do the job.

 

This is how we know the stone weighs a ton. The lift limit on this machine is about 2100 lb, and Mike says that he was only JUST able to lift it. The back wheels were dangling more than once. I don't know how these guys can do this without tipping over.

Got it in, though. A little bit of backfill, and some loam that should be arriving in the next hour or so and...

...here it sits. It's too hot to move the rest of the loam tonight, and I have NO idea when I'll get around to planting the garden. For the moment, all that matters to me is that the stone is home. Again.
