My Cougar sold at the first annual sculpture show at Yew Dell Gardens and made a trip from the gardens to his new home. I have a bare patch at the studio where he used to reside. Ah well...
Here is the cougar when it was still at the studio...
Bramer Crane Service moved the cougar, first loading it onto a flatbed truck from
Penske Truck Rentals. The crane is preparing to lift the cougar while Don sets the rigging.
This is a choker hitch, where each strap is wrapped around the sculpture.
The cougar is lifted up.
The cougar is strapped onto the truck and departs Yew Dell Gardens for it's new home near Lagrange, KY.
Here is where the Cougar is now residing
The crane moves into position and Don backs the truck so that he can get along side it.
The cougar is rigged up again for it's final move to a 24 inch deep footer. The footer will keep the sculpture from leaning.
In this photo you can see softeners that are placed between the straps and the stone. This helps protect the strap from edges on the stone.
Here is the cougar is his new home. I need to get back on an overcast day for a good pic.
This is Ophelia. While she is upright and dry in this photo, she also leans back and fills with water (she is created from a triangular shaped stone with two stones for supports).
