The Blocks Have Landed

Today before 7 our phone rang. It was the delivery man with our truck load of Durisol Blocks. I figured he was just leaving the yard in Mitchell, no, he was at the end of our road wondering if he could get down. "Wait five minutes and I'll be there."
 Dressed and out the door in less than a minute I met Brian and showed him where we needed the blocks placed.

Brian cautiously drove onto our site, 24 skids and over 800 blocks to unload.

First job was to get the "Hitch-hiker" down off the truck ...........

...... then Brian placed each skid closest to where it was needed.

Some spots were more of a challenge than others ........ but Brian managed to get them all off.


Every trucker lives on coffee, so Brian was happy to see Mary deliver coffee and cake for his morning break.

Once unloaded it was time to turn around and leave ..................... easier said then done.

I think we are ready for the crew on Monday.
