Awake: 6:36am Temp 60 sleep 6+43 overcast....rain Nicktown.
I skipped the KK meeting & Kathy stayed for about (20) min this morning. I wanted to call Newell in reference to my failure with the dumping system...but the time zone had me waiting. So I ate my breakfast & then called Newell & talked with Tommy about my failed electric dump Drain Master. I thought I would start 1st by checking the fuses....which Tommy gladly agreed on the location & numbers. However, the rain diverted my plans today.
About 10:14am, a good sized boom truck with trailer pulled into our driveway from 84 Lumber.
They wasted no time in untying the loaded trailer. After positioning the truck & lowering the outriggers, the unloading of the trusses began.
Unfortunately light rain began about 10:56am as I was walking in our field. The rain stayed relatively steady for hrs, not ferocious but heavy enough to be somewhat dangerous for the builders & the crane operator.
At 2:42pm, a load of plywood from...I believe, 84 Lumber, showed up on our driveway & then asked for directions as to where to off-load his load.
Then we had (2) unloading operations going @ the same time. Unloading the plywood....
and the roof trusses.
About 11:00 am, Kathy motored to the church hall to help the ladies out with the funeral luncheon.
Back @ the high trusses & Plywood area, even the boss contractor got to higher places during this rainy day
Mid afternoon, my buddy John visited & we toured the BIG BUILD a little in the rain.....& also in the almost dry basement.
Here is the final truss network over the hex.
When they finished up, the boom truck driver went on his way, as well as the plywood hauler.Then the construction team moved the 2X2's, 2X4's, 2X6's, etc out of the garage & back to the front of the house for easier availability.
Then they covered all of the wood & misc things up for the night. What a day it was & I heard no complaints what-so-ever. Bernie definitely has a great team.
Dinner: Tomato soup & a mixed salad.
Lights out: 12:03am.
