It's been a while since I've updated things, so here's a summary of what's been going on. I'll do this in a few posts so I can add photos.

Dale and I built a tripod to lift the pumpkins, and it worked great! At first, we had a piece of rebar holding the pieces of wood together at the top, but it bent when accidentally dropped the structure when we were trying to set it up. Having a bent piece of rebar above your head, pointing directly at you, is very unnerving when you're lifting a 1000 pound object. Dale and I were definitely scared for our lives a few times, but everything went well, and we replaced the rebar with a bolt the second time around.
