It was a bit tricky getting the POD on the gravel. We had asked the driver, Kevin, to place the POD near the driveway. He assured us he could move it after it was on the ground. So, we let him drop it farther back on the gravel than we had wanted.
Keven placed plastic "boards" under the wheels of the POD's frame so that it could "walk" forward on the gravel.
But, instead, what happened was that the wheels just "ate" the "boards" by spitting them out behind the wheels. So much for that plan!
Kalli watches all the wrangling from her new temporary fence area.
Kevin offered to put the POD back on the truck and move it forward, but we felt it was too much trouble for the gain of its placement.
Kevin arrived a little later than we thought he might. Seems he was pulled into the nearby truck weigh station. His cab didn't have the proper DOT regulation numbers on it. So, the company will have a slight fine to pay. I guess he was really nervous that he'd be delayed or they'd find something else wrong with the POD delivery. But, all was well, elsewise.
And, off he goes!
No sooner had the POD truck driven away when the AmeriGas truck arrived to fill our tank. Now that's timing!
After the gas fill-up, Dave was able to check the contents of the POD. Seems everything made it just fine with little or no shifting of its contents! Yea!!
Today, I packed an ice chest so that I could make lunch in our new house--for the first time. Kalli knows the routine, even if it is in a new house--she still wants nibbles!
Dave enjoys his first homemade lunch on his new porch! And, Kalli moves to the new location for a handout!
Tomorrow we will make the final payment to the builder. Then, we can move in!
