I rented a truck with a power lift to get them home. I have a small pallet jack that I used to move them along the wall and stacked them with an engine hoist.

I had the same problem and found that a demo hammer was the way to go. Now I have 9 blocks that are around 500 lbs each so the ROI on the demo hammer was easily justified. I bought a Bosh for $200 at...
