Yes Nick..very annoying as this was to be the final move..but as the conditions and with a non caring landlord,we have no option..
It would make you cry if you saw the conditions my girls are in at the moment..π’

The search is underway..but no luck yet..
Both Linda and myself searched the Internet but the best we could find was a single ex council garage at Β£100 for a month π..
Guess it's knocking on doors next..

We have found another unit..viewing tomorrow..
As it's approx 7459 sq ft,this will be a shared facility..32 bays and each bay has its own power supply.. Recent referb and everything the currant storage is not.. Location further out than we had hoped but still under a Colchester postcode..
Situated close to Sible Hedingham..Sudbury area..
All being well and we get lucky,each Daf will have her own little bay to play in π

Thankyou Tony..
The viewing went well but nearly didn't happen..
After a booking e.mail and a further e.mail this morning,we had still not received a reply..π
So we decided to take a trip out to view the barn..
After we found the property,a knock on the door went unanswered..π―..so we wondered around to where the barn was to be met by..a ram π..nice to know there is on-site security..π..but still no sign of a human.. Back to the house and another knock on the door..still no answerπ―..so as we started to walk away,we heard a ladies voice..after informing her who we were and why we were there,we were told to go back to the barn where the ladies husband was,he is always there and he is dealing with the barn..
So back in we go,looking for the on-site security who we have nicknamed Rodger,we entered the 1st barn..but still no sight of the ladies husband.. We did find someone to speak to but not the ladies husbandπ..who was not there.π After a quick call we were shown the barn..finally..
It's what we need,being 161.4 ft long and 47ft wide..plenty of space for all the Dafs and a few other classic vehicles which belong to my mate Mark.. Armed with the owners phone number we made our way home..a good round trip of 46 miles made in Dorothy..
A call later and another meeting back at the barn tomorrow morning..with the owner..βΊ

Hi Nick..
The viewing went really well and the unit is massive.. Matt should get all his cars and spares on one side of the barn and still have plenty of space left.. Hopefully the move will start in the next month or so,will get Matt to send some photos to you..
