Roll out the barrel!

One of the dimensional signs we did last year for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch was this large apple cider barrel. It was mounted over the walkway adjacent to the cider cooler. When I visited the year previous I had carefully measured things up to make sure everything fit perfectly. Those measurements proved adequate. It sure looks good in it’s place but I heard it was quite the job to hoist it into place. Lack of headroom meant the mechanical hoist could only get the heavy (and large) barrel about half way to where it needed to be. It took four strong guys to lift it the hard way to its final hanging place. I was glad to hear it went well.
