Steady progress - locking mechanism at top of large door and halfway through fitting the tongue and groove to the door.



Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Dragging the container out this afternoon, after fettling a Sportrak for ages.



I put it on wooden bearers, so it would drag easier



Then I had a bit of an issue.  I had to rotate it through 90 degrees, to push it into another barn.  This is where things got tricky.  This is the only way up to the top area of the farm.  This is where things got a bit tricky, because it got a bit stuck on a drop - as I pushed it further out, it put more pressure on what was on the ground, until I couldn't shove it any more.  Then some of what's stored there came back:



Thankfully it's possible to drive around, so I did that and dragged the sucker into the hole:



Big hole back in the workshop.



Sadly now nearly filled because we have something of a glut in vehicles at the moment.....

 :grin:

Oh and because of all the stuff in the container is now where a car would be.

So, lots more to do now, but dead chuffed it's closed in and now has lots more space.  :cool:
