Default Lifting a 900lb mill without a hoist

JJ,

I was told that a very well known fast food chain, name withheld, places
their floor safes into position using ice blocks. They simply place the
safe onto the ice, slide it into place and let the ice melt out from
under it. I suppose evaporation takes care of the clean up. :-) As I
understand it, this is standard procedure for that chain of restaurants.
It was something like an area manager who stated this.

Anybody remember the Henry Reed series of books? There was one where
he suggests using blocks of ice to slowly lower a metal swimming pool
down into its hole because the crane became unavailable.
