JULY 5, 2001, THURSDAY
Jon and I left this morning at 8:15 and headed down to Missouri. Took Wheeza and Toby along. This is Toby's first long car trip but he handled it well. Nice weather, light traffic, and we didn't miss the infamous bypass around St. Louis. We arrived about 3 p.m. And met with Jeff and Adriana and discovered our first problems. The biggest mess is that the lumber has not arrived and won't arrive until the weekend or possibly Monday. Arggggghhhh!!!!!! So much for prior planning! It seems our roof metal is not a stock color at Yucky Lumber, and it has to be shipped from Rolla. Of course, they've had the order for a week and Rolla is barely an hour away. I don't think I'm gonna like this company, but we will see. A few days delay won't kill me though I'm dying to get started. Also, Jeff got the day of the demolition derby wrong. It's this coming Monday, so, he's a bit pre-occupied. All in all, I suspect nothing will get started much before Tuesday, but Jeff says that's plenty of time. NB: remember this is the South and no one hurries. Spent the evening tidying the house and early to bed.
