Expecting the delivery to arrive sometime before midday, I was taken by surprise when I received a call at 7:30 in the morning from the driver saying they will be arriving by 8:15 and will require 2 people to help offload the trusses. Now 8:00 I have to set off for the school run and it takes a good hour with the traffic. Fortunately, one of the other parents that share the school run was available so I was able to get on site. Called up my bricklayer and he was able to send his labourer to help out.

The driver tried to reverse into the drive but hit the fence on the left and decided to park on the kerbside. (he would have managed it if he straightened up first and then reversed - saving us a lot of trouble of carrying the trusses and timbers)

So we carried them to the back and stood them up against the wall on top of some blocks to protect them from getting wet. We also covered them with some plastic as I'm not sure when the carpenter will start fitting them. That was another exhausting hour and half of heavy lifting.

We've managed to clean the pile of bricks that were in the middle here. Only another few hundred to go!
