Fodder Room Part 1


Darling Husband has a Bargain Finder Friend.  BFF found a couple cargo containers on a property that was being sold that needed to be moved before Christmas.  He wanted one and we would get the other.  We decided ½ of our cargo containers would be my Fodder Room.  The owner of the property was having emotional problems with cleaning the property the cargo containers were stuck in dirt behind a bunch of trees that needed to be trimmed to get them out.  We found a transport company to move the containers that would give us a great deal IF we got the cargo containers to the dirt road.  The DH and BFF trimmed the trees the end of December but the owner hadn’t finished cleaning the containers out.  Then the rains hit as the owner finished cleaning out the containers so they sunk a little deeper in the mud.  The guys used our forklift to lift the first cargo container onto short telephone poles and rolled it out of the mud (I am very sorry I wasn’t allowed to watch this and take pictures) and onto the dirt road.  They go back to lift the second container and it is stuck in the mud they keep trying and blow the seal on the forklift.  Now the company we hired to move the cargo containers had to bring something to lift the second container.  The price for moving the containers went way up and we had to wait until they have a weekday that works for them.  Darling Husband got a call at work saying “do it now” or we have to wait 3 weeks.  So DH took a day off of work to help move the containers.  We had graded a road to make it easier for the delivery of our container but Bargain Finder Friend didn’t realize how much the truck delivering the container would weigh and it started to sink in the mud.  So they dropped off the container left Darling Husband and Bargain Finder Friend to figure out how to get it into place.  DH and BFF then had to fix the forklift so they could move BFF’s container where they wanted it.
