Hardware Store

The principal had called last evening and told me that Linda didn't need to work at the school Monday. I relayed the message to Linda last night. This morning at 6 AM the school called and said they needed Linda to work. Linda got ready and went to the school. About an hour later, Linda returned home saying that neither child that needs a helper came to school, so they didn't need her to work. Hmm. As it has been getting colder, I decided to take the Sea Ray to have it winterized and asked Stacey and Linda if they wanted to ride along. They did, so we took the truck and hooked up the boat trailer and towed the boat to Davidson's Marina. We left the boat there and went to Jone's to eat lunch. When we finished I pulled into the lumber lot at the hardware store. We loaded 6 pcs of 4" by 4" by 16', 4 pcs of 2" by 8" by 12', 12 pcs of 2" by 6" by 12', 2 pcs of 2" by 4" by 16', all pressure treated lumber. I went inside and picked out 8 lag screws and some other screws to put together the wood. I paid and we started back to the farm driving about 40 mph hoping that the wood would make the trip without falling out of the truck. We made it OK and I backed the truck to the hay shed and unloaded the wood. Below is a plan I've drawn using Google's FREE SketchUp program.

If you have SketchUp you can click the image to download the file and rotate the image and work with it as you see fit.
I wish working with the real thing was as easy as working with the drawing software!
Linda and Stacey went to the house and then Linda left to work at the day care for the after school kids.
