The bulk of the timber for the piles is due today. Everson's are ready to crane the wood off the lorry into their yard, the crane driver finishes work at 4.00pm so I've asked the supplier to make sure that its delivered by 2.00 to allow time for unloading before 4.00. Get a call to say that loading is slower than expected but the lorry should arrive at about 3.00. Everson's reckon that won't be a problem. Between 3 and 4pm I wander round Kingston Road and Cherry Tree Road looking for a lost lorry driver..eventually he arrives at about 3.55 in an enormous low loader. Geoff Sinton says "that's not all yours is it" .... unfortunately it is. Then it starts to rain again so we get wet through unloading, which takes over an hour. Very grateful to Derek and Geoff for staying till the job was done.
