The digs have arrived

Well the containers were delivered 19hours late and things just got worse and worse lol.
Number one truck got bogged 20m from the footings...Great start.
                                        No: 1 truck  Bogged
                                          No 1 truck being towed out by no 2 truck
                              after unloading no.1 container in the front paddock and yeh it gets worse!


no.2container unloaded in the side paddock after being transferred to no.1 truck BECAUSE no.2 truck didnt have a winch on it! oh boy!  This little episode took 4 hours, truckies arrived at 8.30, their boss is NOT happy.


The frames on the sides are for flooring  and have to be ground off


Bobs fork lift was bogged in this photo, in fact Bobs fork managed to get bogged 3 times! The fellas went down the road to borrow a tractor!

Bob being towed!

DAY TWO get in the big guns!! A crane and an excavator to tow the crane if it gets bogged.
And of course it got bogged!! lol heres the excavator piggy backing the container  and crane lol. I'm gonna cut this short now because its making me tired just thinking about it all so heres the result of day 2.
Success!! containers and frames in place. Now ALL we have to do is weld, build the living area in the centre and UGH! to be continued.......
