House Walls Arrive



A better day today. The house walls arrived today, only 2 1/2 hours late. But this time they told us they would be late, so I didn't have people standing around.

The weight of the walls is just about 16 tons, and we put the entire load on the house floor. Not a creak or groan out of the floor. Not much construction today. It was an all hands event to unload and sort the load. The delivery truck couldn't make it up the driveway, so we had to unload on the road. Then the boomtruck moved them up to the house. Then sorting and moving the panels around the house by hand. Remember they weigh about 16 tons.
