We ddin't get up until after 9 today. Then it was pet stuff and breakfast. Melissa texted us after 10 to tell us where Isaac's storage until was. We left a little while after we got the text.
The storage is a 40 mile drive from our house. We took the loop1 and 45 toll roads because we didn't want to take anymore time than necessary. We made good time and great mileage (38). We got there just as they were unloading the shelving from the van.
The shelving was all used metal shelving. Allegedly it was all the pieces that had been salvaged. The shelf brackets sure weren't the right ones. We (mainly John) had to modify a lot of shelves to use the brackets that came with them. Isaac's girlfirend's brother helped a whole lot. He's a real worker. Isaac and his girlfriend moved all of their stuff from their second floor cube to the new bigger one on the third floor.
We worked until 1 and then went to a pizza place for lunch. Then we went back and finished the job. It took until almost 5. There were only 7 or 8 racks of shelves. With the right brackets we would have been done in an hour or so. We stopped at an HEB to fuel up on the way home. Premium was 30 cents cheaper up there than it is in the south.
We got home by 6. We got back a lot before John and Melissa because they didn't take the toll roads. Dinner was crab legs and salad.
After dinner was football and surfing.
