Oxy-Acetylene Storage Cage

<< < (7/7)

awemawson:
By a bit of jiggling with various pallets of 'stuff' to make room I realised that I could move the cage over the rough concrete in the 'stable' with the Forklift whereas the pallet truck would not have made it with this weight on board being pulled by hand.

So I was able to drop the cage on the smoother concrete running down from the foundry roller shutter door, and having already placed the pallet truck there (otherwise it wouldn't pass the cage!) pull it up to next to where it will finally live.

A bit of judicious tilting onto blocks while my wife pulled the pallet way from under got it down to ground level ready for cladding. But that will have to wait - it's far too close to uncured concrete - just too easy in a moment of drifting concentration to place my foot in it  :clap:

Still at least now it's nearly where it will eventually stay :thumbup:

awemawson:
Well apart from shoving it into position and bolting it down it's finished  :clap:

Today I had an intensive session making the cladding panels and fixing them. All pretty straightforward, but the pair of rear panels were a bit of a pain. About 750 mm wide and just shy of 2 metres tall they were too long to cut on the guillotine from a 1 x 2 metre sheet, so they involved 4 metres of angle grinder cutting. The other panels, even the side ones where the top slopes, all could be cut on the guillotine so were much easier.

If it doesn't rain (as threatened) tomorrow I'll roll it into place on a bit of scaffold pole

awemawson:
So a bit of levering and rolling and she's in her final resting place.

Not bolted down yet as the concrete base is still very fresh.

Duly labelled just in case anyone gets the idea it's for geese / chicken / lambs etc  :clap:

Nice job, Andrew...... as usual. :clap:
