Stress, lumber, and rain.

I slept surprisingly well last night and woke up fairly alert. A few minutes after six my dad and I drove to the job site and started setting things up. We unloaded the generators and a few smaller materials. At seven I went to the lumberyard and told them that we needed the wood for both houses. One package was already on the trucks and so I followed them back to the site. They unloaded everything and then I was on the lookout for the framers. I was expecting them any time after eight, although 8:30 was more realistic. I was nervous about the second load of lumber coming and I went and got the green plate myself. There were a few bouts of sprinkles but the heavy rain wasn’t due until the afternoon. About 9:30 I started to think that the framers might not be coming, and I was okay with that. By 11 I was pretty sure that they weren’t, and was actually happy about it. But I tried not to get too excited out of fear they might show up. I did load up the generators and loose materials though, and went to the cottage for a quick lunch. I returned to the job site and waited for the rest of the lumber to arrive. It did, and the rain came as well. Unloading was a bit tricky, but it got done. I chained the entrances to both lots and also put logs in the way. Hopefully there will be no 2×4 relays tonight. Back at the cottage I have pretty much just been relaxing all evening. I will try to go to bed early again tonight.
