Where There's a Will, There's a Way (A Come Along and Truck Help, Too)

I bought an above ground storm shelter. It weighs a little over 1000 lbs. It was dropped on the parking apron in front of the garage so I had to get a little creative in order to move it to my patio.

I decided to back the pickup to the shelter. I hooked the come along to the lift point on top of the shelter. Winched it over until it almost fell against the bed. Then I eased it down on to the edge of the truck bed. Winched it further up into the bed then backed it into place.

Once I got it to this point I realized I'd dropped it too close and it would hit the awning. I also decided I'd never get it off the pallet if I didn't do it now. Winched it back into the truck, removed the pallet, dropped it in place (gravity pretty much allowed it stand itself upright once I started dropping it), then pushed it generally in place with the truck. I pushed it with my lawn tractor to fine tune the placement. All I need to do now is drill the holes in the concrete, install the anchors and bolt it into place.

They need to make those that look like blue British police call boxes.

That would be fun. I need to figure out how to deaden the sound inside. It's really LOUD when the door is shut.

ear plugs ?

So this is used to ride out a twister?
Would make a heck of a smoker in "the off season".....

That's a good idea. I could put a stack on top and damn near smoke half a cow at once.

I wonder if spray foam insulation would work.

I have some cork underlayment panels for sound deadening under tile floors. I'm gonna stick those on the wall and see if that helps. I may do some type of spray on bedliner material on the outside. Just something to take the sharpness out of the impact noises. Damn.

Car audio sound deadening material. Self adhesive.
Dynamat or other brands. Check out car audio places.

^^ Cool... Thanks.
