I will be clipping them off soon, don't worry.

I'm going to lock this now.  Someone can clear up in due course.

Grabbed another few hours out there today.

When I got out there I found that Mat, who's one of the sharers hadn't read my message properly and had been there sorting stuff for a couple of hours already - result!

You can see the containers on the left hand side of this photo.



Well they're the wrong way around and the one on the right hand side is bridging the bay where we're shutting off the barn, so I used the skid-steer loader to shove the front of the one on the left further to the left, then put the chain on the one on the right and dragged it out in front of the barn and then used the skid steer to pull the one on the left across the barn.

Once that was positioned we then used the skid-steer to shove the blue one back in, now on the left.  This whole process also meant we had to hoick all the clutter out from around the containers and some considerable area around them.  This then all had to go back in, stacked significantly neater than previously.  It also meant the power had to be disconnected from my green container, but that won't be too much of a biggie to re-connect.

Next steps - steel uprights in to split down the span before we march across it with a block sleeper wall.

Is the earth strap called a steel framed barn by any chance?
