Default 12,000 Views in Sight

We are rapidly approching the 12K view mark for this thread. One of these days I am going to total up the Hammond Barn threads for a "view" total. I suppose the popularity of this thread comes down to one or two items: leadership and/or curiosity.

As a crusty old Warrant Officer related to me during my classification training those many decades ago - "people follow people either because of their leadership abilities, or out of curiosity to see what they f*ck up next"

I think we have good doses of both with this thread, and I look forward to more Hammond Barn "leadership" and "foul ups" in 2010.

Default To the Hammon Barn Crew

Has the deal gone through to turn the Hammon Barn into a Reality Television Series? I think you guys would be a lot more interesting to watch than some of the TV programs on today.

Cheers Phil

Phil,

An interesting idea, but then we would actually have to show progress on our trucks. Additionally, we would have to have some young busty bikini-clad girls as assistants. Not too many of them hanging around the barn.

The wives probably would not go for the "assistants" anyway, and I am sure none of the Hammond crew looks good in a bikini... although once at Halloween, I dressed up as a...never mind.

Until one of us wins the lottery it appears that the barn will continue to measure progress part by part, post by post on MLU.

Default Storage Containers

We have been using containers to store our smaller vehicles. An Iltis will fit with no problem, we have stored our M37 in a container, the only problem : we had to crawl out of the windshield.
We have 3 x 20 ft containers and 1 x 40 ft high cube and to answer the query will it satisfy the insurance company the answer is YES. the container can be locked more securely than a garage door. What we do is park 2 containers with about 8-10 ft apart and park a vehicle between the containers. The average price for a container is $2200 for a 40 ft and $2700 for a 20 ft.
The containers can be purchased in Mtl or Toronto, to find a good price pick up the Heavy truck trader and check the ads, also check to see where the containers are located. If buying 2 x 20 ft the transport is the same as a 40 ft. It is a good time to buy a container as there is a surplus of them, nobody gives them away but specials are there. Last purchase we got 2 x 20ft containers for $1900 ea.
