Lots of Stuff!

We ordered lots of supplies for our basement this week...two truck loads full!

The picture below is after the removed the biggest stack of drywall...and of course they couldn't fit their forklift into our garage, so we had to move ALL of it before it started raining. Luckily, Dale was kind enough to come and relieve me after I helped move the first two stacks.
Here is everything we could fit into the garage. The stack closest to the garage door is the stack Ryan and I moved together. Dale helped with everything else. If you don't know, each sheet of drywall weighs about 80lbs.

In the same delivery, we also ordered stuff for the yard. 30 bags o' dirt, 30 bags o' mulch, and two pear trees....and a new ladder.

This is all the treated lumber and 2x4's that the three of us moved to the basement.
These next two pictures are what we got done just today (with the exception of the bottom plates).



Can you see all the dust on my lens??? I feel like my lungs are full of it! Anyway, we framed our longest wall including framing around three windows. That's almost 40 feet of wall. We had to quit because our two tape measures broke and Ryan's Drill battery ran out of charge...but we accomplished a lot.
So tonight, we're going to take it easy. I think we're going to rent a movie and I'm going to see if I can talk everyone into going out for dinner. I think I'm too pooped to cook this evening.

Dam skippy! Wow. Way to be productive, and snaps to Dad for helping out. My back hurts just looking at it. You earned yourself a bath in that super soaky tub of yours!
