Truck vs Crate: I love my block and tackle...

I've finally found a new house for my wife and I to move to... This comes with problems though, how to move a 3x1.5x1.5 meter ~400kg crate?

Easy, get a truck with a ramp? I fitted the crate with wheels, just push it on! So I called around and eventually found one which we could also use for the big house move. Sorted. So I went to pick up the truck on a Friday afternoon and the truck had a lift which the employee there kept calling a ramp, it was not  not a ramp and they don't have ANY trucks with ramps :-( Bummer...

So we have: Truck vs Crate


The reason I love my block and tackle :-) And persistence...

Getting the crate was simply just the reverse of getting it in. Although with a nice shiny metal floor pushing the create back out was quite difficult, especially because it rained pretty darn heavy.

I could't have done any of this without the help of Paul, Victor, Venny, Chris and my beautiful wife Meta, people power works very well...

Crate 1, Truck 0.
