Container finally arrived at 4pm today :cheers:
Me and the misses got stuck into unloading it and have unloaded 2/3 of it already.
Remember that hugh black 2 piece toolbox Vectose, it took both of us to get the top box up onto the roller cab? I took it off and out of the container myself :hulk:
Me and the misses even managed to get the 3 seater lounge out and into the house, metal frame 2 inbuilt recliners, f'n heavy.

I believe no help will be required to unload the rest of it :P So you can relax kiz :lol:

The contents of the container arrived exactly how it left, nothing moved, although one ratchet strap had worn/torn half way through from rubbing against a chest of draws.
The drums are in the garage/shed in perfect condition, but I am yet to put them back together. Thanks again for tuning them :P

Lol, nope. I'm the stock with the sunroof.

First impressions are good, just need moar time to get to know everyone (no one talked to me today :( ).

First work week over, people are now becoming friendly and talking with me :D
Wendnesday I worked on a big f'n harvester, Thursday/Friday I was out on the road with another mechanic, we had to go and fix a tractor with broken driveshaft/uni's, the tractor broke down going through a gate on a farm, 1.5 hours drive from work to the tractor.

Have also done a bit of local touring on the weekends, as well as building a sh*t load of flat pack furniture for home.

I now have my PC up and running again :cheers:
