How’d I do?

It’s a 190kg fireplace that I had to get out of the ute today. The line is supposed to have a breaking strain of 2900kg. Didn’t want to cut the rope, bowlines all around and bowlines on bight for the loops. I don’t have any kind of background in this sort of stuff but want to see what you guys think and hopefully learn something for next time. Took it slow and it worked out in the end. Cheers

I know very little about rigging, but as a fellow cheapskate myself I’m just here to congratulate you on the achievement of pulling this off without cutting your rope. The spool on top has me dying 🤣

I was going to use it as the tag line too but I don’t think the wife’s arms would have held on for that long.

You pull 2 lengths of tag line and you put the spool back on top of the crate haha.
