They fixed the truck and called when they got to Kingwood. Don zoomed out to meet the truck at the property. Stevie and I left the school (yes, still packing...mostly her room) and zoomed because I wanted to get a picture of the truck on the road. Didn't find it on the first pass because he took a wrong turn. We parked and waited for him on the little road that our neighborhood road turns off of....
Here he comes....I can hear him....
There he goes....
...down the road...
...onto Glory Dr...see my little husband waiting for him?....
...and down the driveway.
Our truck full of house seeds.
While the little husband and Dave (driver) were discussing things,
I was taking interesting pictures...
Then the unloading began. First we had to unload the cement board one piece at a time...
Stevie and I traded off...no rest for the boys.
Then he says he can just slide the rest off by raising the bed of the truck...
Really? You think that is a good idea?
Stand back!
But the green pile...well, let the brainstorming begin. Poor David didn't realize he was dealing with 3 retired teachers whose job it was to fix what ever crisis popped up...let's see...
...poooooshhhhhhh! Ok. Plan B.
Pull.
See what good all those college educations were?
Now, to try that sliding thing again....easy, easy, oooh, down a bit, easy,
ever so slowly....
...and off!
Empty truck on his way home.
Happy homebuilders sitting on their home to be.
Oh, and I found a couple of friends watching in the wood.
See their little eyes watching?
And then we went away...another smaller load is coming tomorrow and building begins on Friday! Hold that thought!
A happy day.

Yea!!!! What an awesome day! All the potential sitting there in piles. I can't wait to watch it grow. :)
Exactly! Seems like small enough piles to make a home, but they will grow, right?
Eyes!! Eyes!! And cute husband with a beard to SHAME my husband's. Such tight packages - take up so little space. But put them upright, one board at a time, 16 on center - and suddenly, they define a whole new space. YAY!!! How I LOVE seeing this happen!
Woo hoo! Let the fun begin...
Blessings, Debbie
The beard is due for a trim. The trimmers have been out in the bathroom for about a week waiting for EXACTLY the right time I suppose. Wait til you see. He looks about 10 years younger.
Fun begins tomorrow!
I love your house seeds, can hardly wait to watch them grow! I swell with happiness reading this, I can only imagine how you must be floating on air!
Melissa, I am so happy you are joining me for this happy time. Thanks.
