I could not be happier. Everything was ready for the containers…..
I was told that they could appear at any time with very little notice……
And I was trying to be hopeful that it would be today when I got a message saying the lorry had magically appeared and they were on their way.
I stayed well out of the way of the heavy lifting.
Though, it was brilliant to watch.
One container easily landed. Bish-bosh. (I could live in there, I thought – so clean).
Perfect.
The lorry went away and I told the ponies just how lucky they all were.
After lunch, the next container arrived.
This was slightly more tricky to position but it was achieved relatively easily.
The ground had been prepared so that each container will drain downwards very slightly, hopefully preventing pooling. We (when I say We, I mean OH) will paint the floors with bitumen paint and then rubber mats will be put down.
Hopefully there are no nasty little spaces for Storm to get stuck in. Both containers are very close to the fences.
Pepper’s not talking to me as she wanted to join in with this far too much and at one stage appeared out of nowhere to go home with the lorry driver.
Anyway, I could not be happier. This is a good set-up. The containers can act as wind-breaks, shelter, and there is enough room for either herd. Definitely worth every penny and made to be impervious to the Shetland weather. I will sleep better knowing the animals can easily find shelter if they want it.
