At least you are getting some stuff done. Playing Tetris is always fun. Not.
I hope those guesses are wrong, I am heading to Wells tomorrow spend a week up there.

Been raining a bit, looks like it will be stopping soon, making progress, but no way am I going to get what I wanted done today. I still need to get the last 53’ box trailer tonight. I can physically fit it in the yard, but it is going to make things terrible when I go to finish moving things around. Oh well.
I dug out this little chunk of steel, it was a bit of a pain as it had sunk into the ground.

Does that run? I think not since it was trying to become one with the earth.
Thankfully it did stop around 4pm in Wells.

Does that mean that "chunk of steel" aka forklift is going to the scrappers?

is the end goal to get off the hill? Or have things changed?
The end goal is to get the bulk off the Hill, but I am still renting the shop for the foreseeable future. Making the exit strategy easier is the current plan. Once I rebuild the Salvage Garage, then I would want to exit the Hill completely. It is baby steps right this minute, but things are starting to align, once that happens everything should be a bit easier.
The current emergency is to cleanup at the SG in prep for snow, we have a couple weeks left, but it will be here sooner than I want!

Got a bunch more moved, think I have the plan pretty much in order, I have to shuffle stuff as I go to maneuver the box trailers. Also been putting things in them that will have to come back out once they are all landed. I think I can have things pretty well situated by the middle of September. Depending on how everything goes, I may try and shuffle things one more time so that I can put gravel under the trailers so they won’t settle as much and the area can be leveled. This would make things easier for loading and unloading as well as snow removal.

Looking at your pictures it's kind of fun to see things from the past...
Are you still working on your QR code?
What about your movie scanning into files?

The QR codes are up and running and I am still using the system, I am glad I spent the time and effort on it.
Movies are slower going, but I am using a program that catalogs them, been fine tuning it so next step is mass entry. Luckily the majority of that can be done with a barcode scanner, unluckily, the majority of my steelbook cases have no barcode...

That's good to hear that things are progressing for you even if not everything had been barcoded yet .

Tangentially related question, where on Earth do you find your shelves and industrial cast-offs? I'm about to have a new garage space to fit out and would love to save some money! The only thing I have found nearby is the Ritchie Brothers auction place and they don't do drawers, bins, or pallet racking at this location. Any tips for finding this sort of stuff? If you have some unwanted and unloved stuff I am willing to drive to Maine!

Back to the good stuff!!!
Unfortunately I tweaked my back pretty good helping a buddy, been dragging me down for about a week now. I have help tomorrow, but it looks like it is going to be rain, so that is going to screw up my plans. Trying to get some things moved around so I will have the room to do some organizing inside the Salvage Garage. I am assessing my projects and trying to get things in order for the winter, really would like to fix one of the front end loaders ASAP, it would be helpful with the dirt work and the snow removal. One step at a time...
