The Box Has Landed



The container ARRIVED!















Three men, one pickup, one flat bed, one crain, one container hauler 18 wheeler thingie and three hours later the box is sitting in it's spot!


First try, logical driving up the road but won't work with the curve of the road and the drive access, soo...















Second try, back up to the 'Y', trun around and back toward the driveway.















I call this threading the needle, he is backing that monster BETWEEN the gate posts! (I deliberately did not have them set in so that he could move them if need be,) but NOOOOO he is threading thru them!
















And here it goes, back in the trees. He had about a foot to spare split either side.


And here we have 'Tilt'. He has made the wheels under the trailer move forward and then lifts up the front end and something sort of spits the thing off the back a few feet.





















And here is the second end... splat!





Now it is Jerry's Turn!















Hook it up...
Pick it up...









Move it over...
























Set the blocks...





Pick it up...






















Set it on the blocks!






End number two underway...









And that's all there is to it!!!

  4. "H." is suitable appalled. Me, I think with a couple of window boxes riveted to the side, it could be quite homey.

    Well done.
