What one man can do

Wally Wallington is a retired carpenter who likes to dream up ways of moving really big things by hand with no technology with such ease that your jaw just drops to the floor.

  •     By himself, Wally can lift a 22,000 pound concrete pillar from the ground and set it perfectly on its end in a hole.
  •     By himself, Wally can move a entire barn 300 feet.
  •     By himself, without using anything more complicated than weights and wood and his own incredible abilities, Wally is rebuilding a modern Stonehenge out of multi-ton concrete blocks.

If I had not seen Wally do these things for himself I would never have believed it, hence the video link to a video on YouTube.com.

What's Wally secret?  Gravity helps, but his real secret his imagination.  Have a watch -- and see if your jaw doesn't drop too.
