Luckily we had my friend Steve with us. Not only did he have a truck with a ramp, he could lift twice what me and my other computer jock friend could lift.

Holding the tikis to the ground were the biggest screws I have ever seen in my life. Over 6" long. I had intended on leaving the L brackets on the tikis but backing those screws out of the wood was a helluva lot easier than backing them out of concrete. So the root ball tiki will get new custom iron straps that I'll get my blacksmithing brother to forge to keep him from falling over and crushing someone.
