Budgeted $125 for 2004 Backyard Rockery Project with a 'slightly' used 'DB Type HAND Winch W/Cable'!



and it came with a best before date



 These jumble of rocks were free (oops Delivery Fee!)




A truck tie down strap worked perfectly on the odd shaped rocks and connected to the winch cable


 

And a way off in the distance was that old hand powered winch sitting on top of a heavy duty 'box' made of 2' X 8" lumber for the framing, added 30" X 30" plywood for the top and bottom, to prevent wracking.  

The interior of the box, was loaded with individual ROCKS so that their combined weight could pull the larger rock.

And with all the (ducks) boulders in a row it was simple to remove the rocks in the box and move to another angle to pull in another line of boulders.

All done by hand.   No electric winches needed.

Of course now, you'll use MY WAY, your way, but with that electric winch.
