I agree..adapt improvise etc.
where there's a will there's a way
I once had to move a V8 engine block down my gravel
driveway by myself...hmmm
got two old sheets of plywood, my son's skateboard,
rolled block onto skateboard, steered skateboard down
to the end of second sheet. picked up the first placed
it next in line etc.. Slow but got the job done..
cheers
