Practice, Practice, Practice

The telehandler came on Tuesday. On Thursday while we were purchasing forms and rebar our Log supplier called and is sending half our logs on a truck tomorrow. So today, I decided I better practice running the Telehandler. When I was in High School I drove a forklift for the Aztec Lumber Yard. This is a lot like a forklift except it has a telescoping boom, big wheels that can be set several ways to move in different directions and it has been 45 years. I moved the rebar out of the trailer. I unloaded the plywood forms. I moved trees the same length as the ones we have coming tomorrow. I think I am ready for the lumber truck. The concern I have relates to the ability of the truck to make the turn into our property. If he can't make it we will have to take some fence down. Then if he still can't make it, I guess we will unload him on the road and move the logs onto the property one or two at a time. Stay tuned.
