Day 355 - Because Yesterday's Wasn't Enough

 
More wood, it's unbelievable that we need this much just for two rooms and a little deck! Today I went and ordered this while Maddie stayed and played with Leah and Grace. Thank you Leah, it would have been awful having Maddie there!!

Ordering this wood made me realise that Nathan can really not be trusted with a tape measure as his measurements were about 1.5m off and when the man at Pinus was telling me how much I was getting I seriously had to think and say wait that's not right! Turns out I am no better as I ordered the wrong sized joists, which meant that Nathan and Drew had to load them onto the Ute and go swap them over.

The delivery of this part was a disaster with the wrong delivery unloaded first, which sucked as the poor man was kind enough to carry it all by hand to behind the gates for me. Then once we got it down I had about half an hour to get it all out of the way before the school kids finished. I don't think Drew and Nathan appreciated me jamming the wood under my car when I ran out of steam and time to put it right down the back. I had two more trips to go when a kid came racing down on his BMX and nearly hit them. I could have killed him for being such a little punk. I think I may be a little tired and sore tonight and tomorrow.
