Containing the Clutter

You know it's getting bad in life when you need a storage container to place your belongings! But, the only way were going to move our 'stuff' out of Nottingham and into the house (that can't actually contain things at the moment due to the high levels of dust, filth and tools!) was to get some secure and watertight vessels on site. The units are going to form part of the proposed plans for the business build so they are a very early purchase for that and will be put to good use later down the line.

Early on a Saturday morning then, arrived the delivery of our two one way trip containers. 

An impressive spectacle of chains, crane and steel

As is becomming almost standard now, there was a slight issue when it came to levelling the units once they were in situ:

After a scramble around to locate some breeze blocks however, they were level and solid waiting to be filled!

And fill them we did...

First with a few truck loads from the house (thank you to Steve for the loan of his van!)

Then it was a trip back to Nottingham to fill up a big van from the house:

Mike enjoyed one mammoth game of container tetris:

So well deserved a play when we opened up the second container and started to fill it:

We're not too sure when it will be that we unpack it all again but at least it's locked up safe and dry for now!

Moving and a-shaking

As there is soon to be a lot of work happening in the kitchen, we needed to take out all the units and re-site them somewhere. 

The old utility (that we're knocking into), has become a bit of a dumping ground recently:

So we soon cleared it up, but where shall we put it all?

I know - we've got some unused barns!

Cleared out some of the other rooms in the house too - quite liberating actually:

We left the essentials in place (for later fitting):

 But our 'bedroom' has now become a storage room:

And the living room? well....

Why do we have so much stuff???

And it's not that much better back in Nottingham either:

Soon we will be in a position to move it all in and house it all, 

just a little a while longer to be split up and down the country!
