Brian and Jim C. move plywood Much of our large order of lumber was delivered to the schoolyard. Brian and Jim move plywood to the school library to protect it from rain and theft.

The municipality lent us their cement mixer at no cost. It was the right tool for the job.

We did discover that no gravel had been delivered to us; all of the burlap bags contained sand only. It was quite a scramble to come up with enough gravel but God is good and sufficient gravel was found.
