Big Jim Delivers

We love life up here in Bancroft. It's sort of like a "frontier" town, small, mixed businesses on Main Street, houses up and down the surrounding hills and lumber trucks rumbling through town reminding us that timber is the key industry here.

I suppose tourism is second, government jobs third and maybe construction fourth. That's just a guess.

Yesterday Big Jim delivered our steel siding. He is a big man and suites the job of delivery and crane operator to a tee. He's always friendly and places the load wherever you want it on the job site. Very helpful.


These deliveries seem to always be when our guys are taking a break. They joined us around the fire, but they weren't seated long before they heard the truck backing up our driveway.


Doesn't look like much steel to cover our whole house but I'm sure it is. Next week will be busy.

Thanks for stopping by.
