Re: Giant Pumpkin to move
Linda,
Hi, and thanks for surfing in.. My suggestion, if you cant get a tarp in
such a short notice, would be to create your own, withsome sort of multiple
tarp/cover thing. Get two or three of them, roll the pumpkinon it's side, and
then shove as much as you can underneath it. Let the pumpkin down. Do the same
with the other side, pulling the tarps the rest of the way through.. I would
have, at minimum - 1 man or very strong woman for every 75 to 100 pounds of
estimated pumpkinweight.. Once centered on the 2-3 tarps, Make sure the lifting
team has a good grip on thier section, and LIFT!!!!!!
Best of luck..
