We just moved a ton of wine barrels onto the oxoline shelving. Full barrels are really, really heavy so we actually put empty barrels on the shelves and then pumped the wine from a full barrel in the middle of the room into an empty barrel on the shelf. This is a tedious and lengthy process, but it’s kind of cool to see it in action.

With that in mind, I tried to stay interesting in this video. Now, what’s going on is pretty simple.

• Put an empty barrel on the shelf.
• Fill it with a barrel from the ground.
• Clean the barrel from the ground.
• Put the newly empty barrel on the shelf.
• Repeat for like three days of your life.

Because it’s so simple, I decided to make it an artsy fart music video. I put it to the tune of “A Tear” by Phunt Your Friends which is a collaborative effort between Drew McCarty and I. This also has lyrical contributions from Kate Keelen. The song was originally submitted to SongFight in April 2006.
