House package delivered


Today the house package was delivered. We were to unload one truck at 8am and the next at 12pm, both were 53 foot trucks and we had 4 hours for each. We had a 7 man crew including myself, my brother Chris, and our brother-in-law Brian Thomann. Delinda's Dad, Hoyt, checked off the list as we unloaded and made sure everything was accounted for.

We had a scare when the driver asked if we had a crane or lift to unload with and was skeptical that we could do it in the alloted time by hand. I had asked in advance whether we should use a "Bobcat" or crane and was told "most don't, they unload by hand". Well....6 hours later we had both trucks unloaded with 2 hours to spare. The drivers were impressed!


We had been watching the weather all week and the forecast called for rain Sat, Sun, and Mon. I was sure the weatherman would be wrong and Delinda prayed the rain would hold off until we were finished. Well, no rain Sat or Sun and not a drop until we finished Monday.
