The Pick-Up

Trip 2 of 2...
 
Well, we placed the order for the flooring last Saturday, and on Thursday we got the call that it was in. My trusty steed - the 4-cylinder Ranger - can supposedly schlep 2,000 lbs, and the 30 boxes of flooring was supposedly 1,970 lbs. Perfect, right?

Probably, but 15 boxes dropped the ride height enough that I didn't want to chance it. Never mind that the full load would have overhung the box significantly. Two round trips to the store later, and it was neatly stacked in the basement. The LSW wasn't thrilled to be dragged from bed (at 10AM!) to unload construction supplies, but such are the burdens we must bear.

Next step: Cart at least half of this load to the cabin in the next week. The other half will go up when we open the place up this year. Also next: Tile selection...

The commenter above posted that he also spends time in Shangri-La, and would like to trade stories. So would I! Rob: Leave a comment with your e-mail, and I'll delete it rather than post.

I deleted your original comment when I realized you had correctly identified Shangri-La's alternate name...
