i am not sure if anyone gave the answer but, the way you get the horozontal block on top of the two standing ones is you teeter it up to the height you need, then leave it, then work on the two pillars, dig the pits and what not, and let them lean into place from the side, and when they are in place, you fill in the hole around them and then burn the wood under the horozontal block... or teeter it back down removing the wood as you go. so you can do it again...

and Wow 300 ft an hour that is pretty damn good for a couple small rocks under a giant 25,000 lb one.

next on the Discovery channel: preschool kids figure out the pyramids were built by simply carving a giant triangle out of a giant marble mountain.

does anyone wonder how he gets the big stone slab onto the teeter position in the first place ?

i thought of it and one way could be to dig a small hole underneath the central part of the stone slab, place the first two wooden planks then dig out the remaining soil on the left and right side of the stone slab to get leverage.

are there any possible ways ?

and how does he get the stone beneath the barn?
