You can usually get a container delivered for next to nothing since they'll fill it with paying freight that they deliver before getting to you.

Bob, Rob

How is access to my shelter? I was thinking of bringing my son's new (to him) Iltis on Saturday and trying to get it in there with the sports car. Failing that I will find a quiet corner of the Hammond Vehicle Repair Depot (VRD) and wrap it up with a decent tarp.

Saturday is Boxing Day, are you bringing a big box (one of Rob's requested shipping containers) for the new addition to the fleet? 20 footers would be easier to get into the barn area, if you could do a 40 footer (Bob and I think there's a conflict between turn radius and trees that he wants to preserve, Rob is more optimistic) it might fit all 3 of the TR, trailer and Iltis.

Default Merry Christmas from the Rotters!

AD Wng Red. The fat man is on his way. All the best to those who peer in or comment on the goings on at the barn.

Hi Clive, Your shelter is snowed in. You will have to chat with Bob to determine where to park the Iltis. I am looking forward to seeing the newest addition to the vehicle inventory.

Rob, just tell him to bring his own shovel - he needs the exercise anyway...

BTW, and apropos of nothing whatsoever, as much as I hate this city, Toronto has ZERO snow on the ground as of yet. That must means something, Shirley...

Have a great Christmas Day, all of you Rotters!

Geoff, Only the body shops and the army are happy that there is no snow in TO. We are hovering around the freezing mark here in Ottawa and the side streets are a mess. There is no shortage of snow here. We went from warm and muddy to frikking cold and snowy in just a few days, and until this week, it was very cold.

Other than a few days cutting wood, not much got done at the barn other than chewing the fat. Speaking of which, the Hammond Rotters have put on more than a little weight in 2009. We are looking a little pudgy, so we will have to get more exercise recovering CMPs in 2010.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and don't call me Shirley...

Default Hammond barn still there.....

....and so are all the little canvass barnees....... although thoroughly covered with ice......

Clive if the Iltis can be driven it should not be a problem....... some of the snow in front of your shelter could be cleared up with the tractor and the Iltis driven in....... if you need to push it in manually it will need some strong arm shovelling as the snow is ice crusted and soaked with water........ the alternative is to tow it to the near back field and cocoon in canvas until next Spring....... probably less physically demanding.


NOTE........ I will not be available to tractor things until Monday....... rain cancelled family gathering for today until tomorrow......

In any event parking another vehicle is not a problem.......

Geoff..... Yes we Rotters all hate Toronto when they still have green grass and we are stuck with freezing rain.......

....and who the He** is Shirley..........

All the Best for the coming New Year....... I understand next year, according to the CHinese calender, is the year of the CMP......

The vendor is delivering Sunday at 1PM and cocooned in the back field sounds like the best answer.
