Large Boulder

Since their are plenty of professional landscapers on this forum, here's a quick question. Approx how heavy is a boulder that measures 38 inches wide, 50 inches long, and 26 inches tall. How would you move such a boulder about 4 miles to my house from a friends property? Thanks much, Brian

Mainline water supply and manifold box setup

****o All, I'm new to this so sorry for the ignorance. I hope to catch up to your knowledge soon. I have a dirt patch for a lawn now. NO grass. Conditions are very dry this spring so I'm thinking about sprinklers. Yesterday I Plumbed one and a quarter inch pipe from my constant pressure pump system to the front and the back of my house. I filled the system with water and capped the two ends. The line to the back came out in a flower bed. The line in the front also comes out in a flower bed next ...
