So we got our order of bolts, screws, etc... I thought Curtis was home from work, but instead it was the UPS guy.. and in my bedroom comes Lil C & his friend carrying a 60lb box, struggling to ask me where to put it! I could barely tell them to just drop it on my bed for laughing so hard.. knuckleheads!!!
~~That was yesterday...
Today was quite the runaround...we got a good tip to check out Re-store Warehouse for wood and called and they had tons.. reserved a U-Haul pickup to go get it...and I decided to run by and check it out, only to find out the wood wasn't pressure treated so it wasn't going to work for us after all.. And it was SUCH a good price! Half what the retail stores are charging! Even for unfinished! Ah, well.. maybe next time. So, I cancelled the U-Haul and thankfully there was no charge!
So I came home, went over the plans again and picked out the sizes and cuts of wood that we'll need for the first two tasks. We made a trip to Lowes and came out pretty good, being that I worked out the cuts on larger pieces of wood to save money, instead of buying individual cuts. Then.... we managed to pack it all in the back of the van--WITH the baby in her carseat!
Oh yeah... went looking for a pulley system while Curtis was getting the wood cut and this idiot directs me to the clothesline pulleys... :-/ How much wood am I going to be putting up in a tree with that? MORON... moving on...
We unloaded the small amount of wood in the backyard and told the boys that's all the treehouse they're getting.. unless they buy the rest themselves. They hid under a piece of plywood.. good enough for now I guess! lol
Till the weekend.. there should be some interesting stories ahead!
