Chris.QCR Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Use another couple cranes to hold up panels creating a wind break so your crane can crane in your container? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durty Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Check if the wind is blowing in the right direction then just use helium balloons instead of a crane? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 i just got a call from Northpower to apologise for missing my booking for this morning. so, another no-show, thankfully for a booking that didn't exist. wha? she then said i'd rescheduled this already, from a weekend date - something else that never existed. what the fuck..? i feel like throwing an apple core into a cardboard box is about the equivalent of making a booking with these guys. the only difference being the apple core is more reliable, it'd still be in the box when you look next 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Probably from your bookings a month or two ago but they repeatedly put the wrong month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this for the site setup chat, or to issue the permit? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 this one is to issue the permit as the crane is setting up. if they cost me crane hire i'll be sending molotov emails. chur geoff i'll wang it in an email at some point.

Popular Post vivaspeed Posted March 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2014 I've sorted some stuff out and have an action plan. If things don't go your way tomorrow morning, i.e. can't get the permit from our esteemed contractor. Give me a call straight away and I've got a man that will come and issue it for you. Hell, even I can come and issue it if it gets that bad. That box will be installed tomorrow (subject to wind of course). 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I hope everything goes swimmingly for you today! There's an idea! Flood the valley and float the container in Just need a couple hundred people at each end packed together with mats zoom tube style then afterwards we can ride the wave of water out to Owhiro Bay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickity Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yay for the container! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 What time is this kicking off? I'll bring an esky to keep my beers cold, a sunhat to keep the sun off my dial and a deckchair to rest my posterior. Wait!!! It's Owhiro Valley. Just a deckchair required. PS - what time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
