A HARD problem?
Alright, we are building a water feature (A pondless waterfall) and we recently acquired a large rock, we estimate it to be somewhere between 700 and 1200 pounds. We need to lift it, not move, LIFT. I have pondered several ideas, but i want to here what other people say.

People who do clearing and grading of properties have a lot of machinery. Maybe one of them has a small front loader for hire I believe one of these will lift and set down your rock any where you want. Look in your yellow pages possibly one of them is between jobs.

When foundation people lift stuff they just keep putting more under and more under untill it is at the height they want . . . they raise houses 5, 6, 10 ft!
the Egyptians rolled large "things" by putting round rods onder it and continuously feeding more in front as they moved along.

a large pry bar or 2, some sweat and some stone or cement chunks should work if you want to raise it. you could use a pulley system and chains tied to a vehicle, but there is significant danger in that.
otherwise rent a bobcat with front end loader

Crane
Forklift
Auto Engine Lift(?)
Several possibilities, but none of them cheap

Ask Majorie Astrofsky. She might know. I would say rent a small lift that they use for removing car engines, Buttttt...who am I?
