The way of the Egyptians

I performed an amazing feat tonight. I move the 250 and 600 lb cast concrete steps into position myself using some pretty common tools:

2 low quality hand trucks
2 low quality nylon ratchet straps
a pile of scrap wood and plywood
a 6' digging bar
a 140 lb skinny male

Porch

The before:



Poring the footer



Framing



Sending off my dad after a week of hard labor



Siding and flooring in



Trim is going up

Excavation
