Lumber

April 12, 2010 by Rachel Chapman

Unloading the lumber
Unloading the lumber into the schoolroom

On our last trip, we were able to finally talk to the foreman at a lumber mill on the road to our village.  We placed the order for our lumber needs for our house with him. He said they’d have it all cut and ready within a week.  The foreman ended up getting called away for a family emergency and the mill workers were coming up on a week’s vacation, so it did not look promising that things would work out as we planned. In the end, a week and a half later we got our wood delivered to the village thanks to our friend who hauls our freight.  He went out of his way to make sure we received exactly what we ordered.  Tuesday, as the workers were supposed to be getting off for a week’s vacation, he had them cut the sizes they lacked for our order.  The boards were loaded directly onto the truck and he brought us a full load.

We got everything stacked and stickered.  This is our roof, our inside walls, and our doors.
