Seeing those rocks reminds me of how I got my hernia working one of my lake houses. I built a chute to send them down the hill and set them in place. Most were a one time move and needed to be sent down pretty close to exactly where they needed to be. I found them all over while we were out and I'd load them in my truck. When I was at the lake I always carried a two wheel dolly. I remember the one that got me and remember Theresa saying, don't mess with that till I get back. Two months later when we were finally done I told Theresa, now I need to see a doctor. She knew the exact rock that did it and NEVER let me forget it. Man, did I used to do some stupid s**t. LOL............ I had a concrete seawall and put Riprap in front of it also. It started out like the first picture and ended up being totally covered in Boston Ivy. Theresa and I did it all by ourselves, including the decks. I took a leave of absence for three months from work to build it. The bottom deck came out of the basement, back wall of the foundation was 15 foot tall and all of it sitting on solid rock. I had the side of the hill blasted and a lot of the rock came from the ledge the house sat on.

My daughter in law wanted some big rocks so her I lifted them in the back of our ranger then to their Suv. When they got them home my son was lifting them out and was saying how heavy they are, my grandson looked at him and said Papa didn’t have any trouble lifting them
