Remember the huge pile (6400 lineal feet to be exact) of tongue and groove that I told you about a few posts ago? Now that pile needed moving once more - this time with it stained the same color as our windows.
Monday - when most of Lacombe was out beaching, or camping, or enjoying the sunshine which finally came back - five people were out getting that lumber stained. And they did it!!
What a team we made. We had two sets of sawhorses, four rollers and five workers. Peter, Kev and I worked with two high school football buddies of Kev's - Matt Archibald and Tyrone Mamchur - to accomplish what we weren't sure could get done in one day! Like I said - incredible teamwork. Do you think these young men have learned what it means to be on a team - maybe somewhere in their travels in life as part of the Lacombe Rams? I think so!
Peter and Matt worked at one set of sawhorses and Tyrone and I worked at the other. Kev was our "board guy" making sure we were supplied with boards from the pile, neatly swept of any dirt or dust and facing the correct way. We all worked hard, and it was a warm day!
In the first picture you can see Peter and Matt working away as one part of the team staining boards. In the second picture you see Tyrone (minus me seeing as I am the one taking the picture) at the second set of sawhorses with Kev in the background preparing boards for us.
We are very pleased with these young men and how they can keep on working in the hot sun on a very dry and packed gravel surface with no shade for our "ice-cap" breaks!
