He is bolted into cement with 2 bolts between his legs. These bolts look rusted and I with go with a sawzall or torch (Fire maybe a bad choice since he is redwood) He is bolted to cement about 2 feet round and uncertain how deep. There is rot at his feet and base but when knocked on he seems VERY soild - Due to the way he is secured I could not see in side him but if you look at the pictures you will see the way he was made and where the bolts are its unlikely that he is infested. He did have a wiggle when pushed but was still very secure. As a complete guess he weighs between 500 and 1000 lbs. To move him there many ways but the initial movement would need to be by hand no machinery - figure 4 guys and a dolly some straps etc. There is a down hill exit to the road across the lawn (see pics) about 30 to 40 feet a way downhill then a set of stairs that would lead nicely to a waiting truck or trailer. I would recommend at least 3 large pieces of ply wood to roll him on the dolly as it is all grass and its a little soft and wet from recent rains. Here area bunch of pictures to see him: view from tiki to gate - gate inside - gate to street - wide enough from gate back to tiki things could happen with him as soon as tomorrow! Saturday BRING LONG pants and bug spray!!! my direct email is [email protected] if necessary. [ Edited by: sneakyjack 2009-08-07 11:50 ]
