I know we have had "how do you get this out of the van", but I wanted it in!

Well, we got it out of the van on Tuesday (I have been very occupied this week) it wasn't easy and Gareth had to use all his "persuasion" to get it over the lip @Jelly_Sheffield referred to, then it was back to using ratchet straps to drag it back. Really handy those ratchet straps are.

Steel shafted builders shovels are great to start lifting a corner of some thing heavy , so you can get a better lever under it.
I helped move a heavy clicker press off Fizzy's trailer almost 18 m. into a shed with a flagstone floor , without the shovel to " row " it round and into place we'd have been scuppered.
