Out with the old...

I made progress preparing the site for the new house, but the old one still needs to be gone.  Cousin Steve has been taking care of that--he started last weekend.

I had a couple, actually three, rocks sticking out of the ground that had a tendency to attack lawnmowers.  They seemed too large to remove by hand, so I asked Steve to use his skidsteer to make them go away.  This is the message I received after he started work on the house and the rocks:

 "I've been working on the project, with good progress... (T)he house is down, ... the basement is 70% filled.... I tore into those rocks today... the small one is approximatly 8x3x3 feet, the other one is substantially bigger. Picture a 7x7x7 hunk of granite shaped like a (die)...What do you want done with these rocks?"

I asked my family:

T:  The adult suggested:
     Carve the busts of our grandparents
     Offer it to an art student' "Free 340 cubic foot granite block--you haul".

N. the Soldier/Dental Something says:
     from the little one: carve a lawn-mower eating monster (eating a lawnmower)
     from the big one: carve our grandparents--life size

E. the Mathematician, offers these suggestions:
     Break them into 32 pieces to make a giant chess set
     Break them into 3200 pieces to make 100 regular-sized chess sets
     Build a dog-size stone cathedral
     Make furniture for guests you're not fond of to sit on
     Carve one into a millstone and grind your own flour
     Stick a sword in one and claim that whoever can pull the sword out can be the ruler of the farm

I need more ideas, which I will post as they come in.

(Of course, I could push them over the hill.)
