We have also moved some heavy stuff on wooden rollers (round fence

damaging it) and keeping control of it whilst doing so.

Given 30 seconds ago I grumbled about random YT clips, I won't post i.t
but there's a few clips of a yank spinning 4 tonne stones around with his
little finger. He made them after being told how hard it must have been
to build stonehenge - he also showed how it only needs 5 or ten people
(who know what they are doing) to put the lintels on.

I'm always a little sceptical when I hear claims of how many thousands
"it must have taken" on projects like stonehenge. I think our ancestors
were smarter than that.


What you will find with a small(ish) wooden shed is that it is much
lighter than you think but difficult to man-handle just due to its size.
Even something as simple as temporarily attaching two long pieces of
wood at thigh height to the front and back provides lifting handles for
4 people to get the shed 6 inches off the ground to carry easily to a
new location. Sheds are often poor quality and just about fit for
purpose and what should be avoided is twisting the structure whilst moving.

What you often see on TV is archaeologists with no engineering
experience proposing impractical methods to test their own pet theories.
If you watch one of the lesser TV channels they present absolute proof
on how Stonehenge and the pyramids (in both Egypt and South America)
were built. They were build using anti-gravity technology by aliens who
came down in their spaceships.
