Chocked the wheels with a 4x4.

And no mats to put the outriggers on.

I am just wondering exactly how far the outriggers are going to sing into the ground when they put the weight on them.


Im convinced they staged the crane there to use the concrete steps as solid outrigger footing

problem solved

They took the thing down in the 1950s to do some repair work apparently.


I'm guessing back then, there was a plan in place and sufficient money allotted so that a competent contractor could safely do the work.

None of which appears to be the case for any of this.

Someone who knows more than I do, what are the odds they actually get this done today without any major screw ups?

Bet y'all didn't know that several sheets of plywood is stronger than actual outrigger bases.
