I agree with you, Gunner that an aircraft cable
lanyard is probably the only way to fly.


Yeah, around the footer. I've only pulled one that way but it came
easily.



Correct. simply make a loop out of the lanyard, stick the footer in the
loop, so its self tightening, hang it on the hook and crank it out.


You forgot the bit about 3-6" of excavation around the footer first,
though; less if it has a lip.


Its not rocket science. I did 45 or there abouts a couple years ago,
but I used my forklift as lifting power. Took me about an hour and a
half total, simply lining up, driving to the next one, etc etc.


Did you "get" to take all that heavy crap to the dump, while you were
at it? I tend to hire guys for that stuff nowadays, paying them half
the rate I get so I'm still making money on it.
