The moving methods were low-tech and not always pretty, but they doggedly succeeded in moving ten pieces to new locations in the neighborhood. (right) a night move.

... They discovered pieces. They cataloged and then dug out more pieces, cleaned, repaired and painted them. They dug new footings and poured concrete.

And somehow, neighbors kept showing up in droves at critical times to lend a hand (and other heavy equipment).

For the largest pieces, and the most fragile, we called in the professionals. Scott and his crew from Reynold's impressed everyone with their skill, ingenuity and teamwork.
