The garage dropped in...

Well, thankfully it didn't drop in - it was lowered into place. At 7 a.m. this morning a 40-tonne lorry and a 4-axled crane / garage transporter were on site. The garage, produced by Zapf is six metres long and three metres wide, and the adjoining shed is three by three metres. The garage weighs 12 tonnes and the shed 6. Both were on the lorry. First the shed was moved from the big lorry onto the small lorry:

After that it was moved to the house and lowered into place. Then the same happened with the garage. Watching it hovering on the end of a crane gib about 3 cm from the wall of the house is pretty disconcerting - it didn't seem to bother the man working the crane... Seemed as if he'd done it before.

Here it is in place. The garage door is sectional and electric.
