Hi Rick,

    Safety, both of yourself and your helpers is always paramount, but
    sometimes things just happen. The set up you describe, is quite
    workable, my Dad and I have used similar to move as heavy or heavier
    things in the past with no mishaps. 

    I have a broken scaphoid in my left hand from a ladder that shifted,
    it was sited on a dry concrete pad, at the correct angle (the was an
    inclinometer on the side of it) and I was only three rungs up it, the
    guy holding the ladder was doing his job and still the ladder
    slipped. Sometimes there just ain't no justice..... So even when you
    follow all the rules things can still go wrong, that's just life. 

    Sometimes I wish I had a 14" saw instead of the 24" monster, there
    really are times when bigger isn't better! And yes a sledge hammer
    can make short work of those occasional pieces that just won't
    conform to the sizing requirements of the civilised world. 

All the best, Thomas.
