| in addition to weeklong visit from sarah's sister rebecca and her husband jeff, seattle friends emily and catherine dropped by just long enough for a quick dip after looking at a nearby vacant lot for sale. they alerted me to some free beams they saw about 5 miles shy of here, which they described as 8 foot long 4x6s. that sounded manageable so i cruised over solo, surprised to see they were more like 6x8x20 glulams! well, i'd come this far so i dragged the biggest one and got it up onto my bumper. next came the real challenge--somehow lifting it over head and onto the lumber rack. it took all the strength i could muster and there was that uneasy point of no return when i had to either rally and push it over the top or let it drop and hope to jump clear. i dug deep and barely got it in place--which gave me the confidence to try another, and after that some smaller ones, which quickly maxed my rack's weight limit. i'd come back later for the rest. this time with help. |  |
