This is the big day! Almost all the lumber we will use for framing the house arrived on one truck this morning. Most of it is Douglas fir from the West Coast.
The truck has a three-wheeled forklift attached at the rear, so it can self-unload.
Marlon has been concerned that there wouldn't be enough room to store everything on-site, but he has mapped out where each stack will go...so he will be able to access each item when it's needed.
This looks pretty unstable, but the operator knows what he's doing! I am used to building with eastern spruce lumber which generally comes in 2" thicknesses, but this is solid wood. Some of these timbers are 6" thick and 24-feet long. I'm not sure how we are going to lift them into place.
This is the last of it...and it all fit on-site.
