| 3 February 2015 In most places siting a container would be an straightforward operation. Deliver by lorry, unload and that's it! Not so with us (unfortunately) as everything is dictated by the limited access to the site. After moving the container (SEE HERE) in November, the interior has been stripped and much of the outside repainted. Now is the time to move the container into its final resting place. |

| Once the dumper had gone as far as possible dragging the container, it was time to squeeze the dumper out of the way. This side of the container could not be painted until now as it was against the cliff. |

| After some hard work, it was decided to re-employ the dumper with its 4 wheel drive. (Photo courtesy Brian Haigh) |
| All in position, re-instating the fence. One side of the Black Shed has also been renovated with the rest to follow. |
| A further two containers have been acquired to help tidy and sort materials and plant around the site. With the practice already undertaken this move should be rather more efficient (even if it is 4ft longer than the first)! (Photo courtesy Rob Johns) |
| Extra help already needed! In fairness this was to avoid a parked car and the rest of the move went very well. (Photo courtesy Rob Johns) |

| Next to its final home. Jobs a good 'un! (Photo courtesy Rob Johns) |
| Slabs have been concreted in place and levelled quite accurately to ensure the container won't twist and that the doors will open! (Photo courtesy Brian Haigh) |
