The initial plan was for Colin to help us to transport the hide from our house to Van Stadens. He couldn’t make it so we made a plan with our own trailer. Took the lid off and made a wooden platform. Our first load:

The floor and some roof sections with some other stuff inside. All went well driving slowly. Neil was waiting for us and we carried it to the platform. Check the safety boots.

We were so happy with this milestone it was time for a victory dance.

We left it nicely protected waiting for D-day.
