Monday, July 04, 2011 in container, news
The second forty-footer arrived early on Monday morning. Things are easy when you have a truck, a crane and a tractor on hand to shift the 4-ton boxes around. The new container also had our order of steel in it which came straight from Nelson and saved us some coin on shipping it from elsewhere.
The new container was lifted from the delivery truck onto the ground before being pushed into its position by Jim and his favourite toy.

Then, the container that had arrived earlier in the weekend and was sitting in the paddock was lifted up again and put next to its friend.

Things went smoothly thanks to our expert helpers. There were a few scary moments...or at least I thought there were: when the container almost touched the power line, or when the container almost hit the crane. Almost.
But all went well and our containers are now waiting for us to transform them into our new home.

Stay tuned :)
