Monday was Labour Day, so not much happened. Did some job-site clean-up, so we have our walkway clear again. The bin is totally FULL.
Tuesday was a run-around day for Paul, he spent a lot of time on the phone making arrangments. We have more HUGE beams arriving, the bin was picked up and weighed in at 6 TONNES!
Oh, and regarding that gigantic 8" x 8" post that our architect put to support the back corner of our second floor: After searching, Paul discovered that no-one carries any 8 x 8 fitting that attaches the post to the concrete footing... only 6 x 6. When Paul phoned our architect to ask WHY he calls for an 8 x 8, he said he thought a 6 x 6 would "LOOK TOO SMALL"!!! So it turns out Paul is going through all this trouble for ASTHETICS, and not functionallity?!?! That's crazy if you ask me...
