Job done. Wow its big …

This morning with some help from family and friends the massive tarp was hoisted in place. Initially we wern’t sure how we were going to get the tarp over the 4.5M high frames, but after a suggestion from our sister-in-law Jody, we rolled the tarp into a 13m long “sausage” then simply threw four ropes over and hoisted it over the top, with three helpers unrolling to keep it off the ground. Worked a treat and the job was done in less than half an hour. We spent the rest of the day tying it down.
