The Last Straw More Photos below ! ! |

As I've said before, I can help
myself to hay and straw from the barn at my home as a sort of
'payment' for checking on the sheep around here for the shepherd who
lives about 5 miles away.
Anyway, it's time to clean out the
chicken sheds/sties etc. and I needed some straw, the barn has
recently been filled up to the roof (very high) so even at the top of
the ladder I was a long way off reaching the top bale (I'm vertically
challenged anyway - short ! )
I called my son to drive over to
help, he's 6'6" so I thought he could do it, but no, he couldn't
get up there either, there was a farm worker nearby with a fork lift
so I asked him if he could do it, but the forks were so close, but
still couldn't get a bale out for me, so we came up with the idea of
getting my son to stand on the 'forks' and being hoisted up to the
top, cutting through the twines, and pushing the straw down.
It worked ! and I've taken some pics I thought you all would
like to see of the procedure.
