a fairground life

The pic shows how full the van was. Make no mistake, it was jam packed from front to back.
Wednesday
First job was to put all the scrap metal into the van. We used the crane to move the steel to the van parked just inside the doors. The van was loaded to the max. It was so full the tyres were bulging. Luckily the scrap yard is literally around the corner from the shed. "r" and I took the van there slowly. When it was weighed the van was a staggering 4090kg. We had loaded in by hand over two tons of steel!!
Returned to the shed and tidied away some of the tools we will not be using. There is a lot of gear laying about, so I'm not flustered on Sunday I've started to pick up a little every day. "R" and I did a little work on the interior of the DZ paybox. It has little packing space inside so we made a locker and cupboard to accommodate the bits n pieces that clutter the floor-spare wheels,cleaning products etc. Next "r" made a frame for the music system. The power amp and equaliser are heavy and were left on the floor but now we have a frame that mounts them vertically, this too has freed some floor space.
Thursday
Went and picked up the skydiver skirts.They were in for repair after being damaged in the high winds of January.
In the Guild office again this afternoon, not for complaints this time but for a tenants meeting of a summer fair. It was to decide on advertising and other issues with the running of the fair. Back at the shed by 2pm. Picked up some more rubbish,burnt more papers,boxes and timber. Then helped "d" to get the superbob ride out. It was with great difficulty as the ride is about 300mm longer than when it came into the shed due to a new cash box being fitted. The ride kept getting jammed against the shed door due to the extra tail swing. The ride eventually came out after they used the trailer lifting rams to slide the ride over by raising it up, inserting greased blocks under the wheels at angles then lowering the ride again. After at least an hour the ride was out of the shed.After that "r" cleaned up four wheelie bins of sand from under the skydiver. Finished tonight at 10pm, getting near panic stations for moving out.
