Shuffling the deck .... and sheeting

Today started out foggy and misty.  Shades of things to come - we had rain, sun, rain, sun.  Nothing enough to stop the work.  Len and Ross worked on the west deck while Ken started sheeting the roof.
First post up.  These are cut from trees on our lot.
Note the fog is still lingering
Ken sheeting the roof

After everyone else went home, Len and Cath moved windows, doors, and pallets of wood from the neighbour's driveway to our lot using Joe's lift truck.  Cath learned all the intricacies of strapping, chaining, and keeping your  body and toes from under the dangling load.  Also not to breathe too deeply while standing next to the truck (cough, cough).
Windows ready to be moved
When we opened the package of exterior doors to move them, we found the first damage to anything we have had shipped from Tamlin.  Looks like they were not properly packaged and screws from one door damaged the other.  Also, the lack of protection on one side meant the edge was broken away.
ouch
The cause of the ouch
Not enough protection between the doors

Hope that tomorrow doesn't bring too much more rain.  More photos promised.
