 8 May 2007 - The Framing Kit Arrives

 
Expectant Crowd Gathers In Wild Jubilation

 
Mr. Truck Driver - OPEN THAT DOOR!

 
That's it?
Not even a full load?

 
Jerry's Yellow "Do it All"

 
Easy Jerry!  Easy.  The customer is watching
 
Yep!  Its got our name on the tag.
 
Hmmm, seems everything is here but the foundation

Each bundle is strategically placed and carefully oriented for the framers 
 
I don't know, Jerry.  Put it any place you can find a spot
 
Windows and Doors

 More stuff

An early look at the balcony glass sliding door  
   
Ma Lindal still searching for the missing foundation 
 
Amazingly, it appears they were able to squeeze the entire kit into this tiny box 
 
       
       
       
       
 Mr Lucky's Day Off   ... Or Why the Crowd was really cheering
 
48' trying to bend around the inside of a 40' curve


Who ya gonna call when your luck runs out? 

 
The M543 1971 5Ton Wrecker eyeballs Mr. Lucky's situation

Piece of cake for the ole war dog 
 
On the road again!

The 9AM delivery finally arrives at 1:30 PM

Think anyone will notice?
Meanwhile, over on BayBerry Island, (about 500 yards as the heron flies but 5 miles as the road winds) Truck #2 missed the turn on to Jarvis Point Road and needs a little assistance too 
 
Scene Two, Act Two: BayBerry Island
 
Mr. Lucky's accomplice
 
Same winching strategy, different truck
With no where to turn around, the driver and I as the guide backed the truck off the island, across the bridge and about 2 miles down the road to the Palmer Point Road intersection 
 We parked at the entrance to Monarch Shores Road and went to get the other truck out before entering with this one.  Lucky's luck held and he got hung up on a fallen tree in the final turn.  Fortunately a little art work with our chainsaw freed him for situation #3  
Yep. Stuck.
Situation #4

Jerry's Do-It-All eventually did pull the truck out 
 
If only this actually worked, the picture and story would have paid for the day's expense
