no offense takin at all..
all very funny responses.. i was laughing with you all...
i was thinkin a post stake that u hammer in the ground like those for a mailbox post etc... might work..
im just building the cross. and the family is going to carry it in so i wanted something easy to secure it without having them carry bags of cement. ya know what i mean??
thanks for the quick and many responses. and yes i liked the one about not forgettin the garlic....
 
what if you drill a hole in the leg of the cross and put a length of rebar in it? Pound the rebar into the ground. how big is this cross gonna be? be sure to tell the family to stop pounding on the rebar when they hear a thump.
Good idea.

Be sure to epoxy or glue the Cross (in the drilled hole) so it will not inadvertently rotate out of position.

Rebar is MUCH easier to pound in to the ground than a 4x4. MUCH easier!!!!!!
 
:laughing:Is this someone who REALLY pissed you off? Did you use enough lime?:laughing:

Lime? Are you making margaritas
I know that this is a serious and never happy occurance, but I just wish to bring some laughter in to it! It helps with the grief.
good idea,,, but i forgot to add the cemetary is in a very remote area, and needs to be hiked into so carrying a slab of granite is prob out of the question.. thanks...
Somthing sounds fishy with this story, I have never heard of a cemetary with no access, or is it a family plot somewhere on private land. Still how do you get the bodies there for burial?
 
i live in hawaii.
and the cemetary is located on an isolated penisula off the back side of the island that you can only hike into...
does this really sound weird to you guys???
Not so much now. I was picturing a much different scene, some back-woods in Kentucky or something.
Good luck with the cross, and I'm glad you have a sense of humor. It gets pretty ripe on this site, and that's what I like about it.
 
I am still waiting to hear how big the cross is?

Only i'm so sure this is a hoax i've been afraid to post on it till now.

I can just see Hannibal (Maleko) Lector making some dude carry the cross into the woods for his own grave.

His name is Male knock out, could be he is just paying homage to those that did not survive.

Maleko, that is Hawaiian for man with ability to laugh at indifferent contractors. :eek:http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.oz-post.com/html/images/types/new1/T4-600.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.academyfence.com/ozpost/types/&usg=__WHPywjHk3CeVEAch8B5YEZ58rq8=&h=480&w=480&sz=25&hl=en&start=21&tbnid=kpQEfpjcAmsNXM:&tbnh=129&tbnw=129&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmetal%2Bpost%2Banchor%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den
