Maxing out the 5700lb forklift....

Yesterday we moved my shipping container from the old land to the new land, about 100 yards with the forklift. Christian is  an excellent forklift driver and thanks to that nothing really bad happened. He did find out that the container was in fact to big for the forklift as it tipped the rear tires right off the ground, making it impossible to steer (and very scary looking)...
With a seatbelt on and the rear tires barely on the ground he managed to drive it into place and place it perfectly- bumps and all. It will now act as a storage for supplies for the build- and some shade for us builders as well. I know that this is only the first in along series of crazy steps in the move and the house build, so we had a beer at our local brewery and felt a tiny bit more relaxed afterwards.
Today we are going to level the foundation with the help of a transit and get this show on the road!!
