Day 37 – Building Materials and a Tow Truck

Today the building materials arrived from Rona. They have been awesome so far and didn’t disappoint today. The morning didn’t start well, my truck developed a major oil leak overnight and it needed to be it towed. Whenever anything goes wrong with one of the vehicles I immediately see dollar signs and boy did I see them today. The short version of the story is a good one. It turns out that it was a safety recall and with fact that it happened on our driveway and not while I was driving saved us our engine. Other than the tow, it didn’t cost us a thing. Thank goodness.

Of course, everything happens as once, so while I am waiting for the tow truck, the Rona delivery guy shows us to deliver four pallets of building materials and my truck is blocking some of his access to put it in the garage. The Rona guy was awesome, he helped me push back the truck, spent a ton of time trying to get the materials into the garage and even helped the tow truck driver move my truck into the alley so that he could get it hooked up to be towed.

After all this, I finally took off to the lake with a friend, for a much needed 24 hours of break.
