SS,
83% sounds very accurate. You must have a clearly defined list for shopping.

RE: What have done towards your prep?
No not really SD .......custard ......lol
Okay seriously , although it sounds very precise its a estimation of work done and complete set against the timescale I have allowed , sounds good , but the reality is the remainder is the big stuff and big cost ...I will miss the timescale due to funds .....nothing new there then , but none the less I will get it done, but later rather than sooner , its just the way it is , but I am resolute even though changes to the plan have forced costs to soar beyond my planed costings, what else is new ?.

RE: What have done towards your prep?
Got a second hand counterpoise for the tailgate of the Wagon R as one had gone, the TG on this vehicle goes up over and according to the blurb from Suzuki it doubles up as a rain guard or canopy when up. So it was worthwhile fixing.
Backed up my pcs prepper files to a USB hard drive.

RE: What have done towards your prep?
Ordered 25 sheets of plasterboard faced 50mm insulation board. £1000 - Eek !!! Enough to fully insulate and dryline my shipping container and hopefully have 2 sheets left spare.
Incidentally, I checked the maximum weight that can be loaded onto a standard shipping container and was surprised to see it is 192 tonnes. Obviously that weight is supported by the corner posts, not the "roof", but it shows how strong these things are.

Is that weight not the max loaded onto the base? I assume it's not the maximum available to load on an internal shelf system?
