How do you move this?

I wonder how you would move such a large boulder.

1. Drills? Going to take quite a few months.
2. Crane? Doubt you will find one large enough.
3. Explosives? Good bye to the houses next to it.

Interesting challenge.

I’d demolish the house and move.If a landslide moved that boulder the next landslide may be even worse.

You dig a big hole next to it…..and next time it rains it will fall in!

Apart from shifting it off the road and a little way away from the house I’d leave it pretty-much where it is; it may just stop the next boulder crushing the house! 🙂

See how close the other boulder is to one that rolled-down previously?

I thought the same as soon as i saw it! I cant help thinking it would be quicker just to move the road around it and leave it where it is! And can you imagin opening the back door to see what the funny noise was!
