    I think I'm going to need a bigger Boat...Er I mean Truck!

    So I took the old man with me today. We picked up 6 Gaylords from Habitat, and 1 more from the Thrift Store.

    I had to upgrade to the big shop to handle this kind of volume. The big shop belongs to the Old Man, from when he had his trucking company. I'll post pictures when I break everything out of the boxes, but here's the teaser to wet your appetite.



    I was disappointed that we could only get 3 gaylords on the car hauler at once. So we just made 2 trips. We ended up using a hand crank "fork lift" the old man had a the shop, but it wasn't set up for pallets really, so we had to prop the pallets up, move the "forklift" out of the way then knock the pallet to the ground and use the pallet jack the rest of the way.

    here's some pics!

    The trailer. Good little trailer, I've moved more cars, and Bar equipment with that trailer! She got new lights last night, and I took the ramps off for this load.
