Took the little guy for his first trip to the equipment rental yard today. Here's the engine lift with tow hitch - $22 per day.

Once I lift the log, I can roll this drywall dolly underneath the middle and strap everything down tight. It will easily roll 1,000 lbs or more, and can pivot around tight corners with the big caster wheels. $17 per day.

Hell, I could practically move a giant log all by myself with all of this rental equipment. So I guess I'm all set. I figure I can carve my giant tiki for about $100 in materials including the rentals.

That's it for now. It's all planned out, but probably won't happen for a month or so. I've still got to finish that little Leroy, and another five foot Ficus log is all skinned up & ready to go. After that, the BIG log project begins.

Thanks for letting me bounce all my ideas off you guys. I'll post some pics when I get started.

Aloha for now,

Aaron
