The Trip for Wood was nothing Easy

Ok so today i am going to pick up a whole unit of the 2x4s enough wood to finish the structure for the mini mega ramp. Mainly today I was suppose to rent a trailer at 10am and meet up at an undisclosed location to pick up the wood at 10:30am. An I had a errand to run with my car at Toyota before all this. Well Toyata took their time with my car when i brought in my car and I got out late. This was 9:45am when i left. I went back to base to pick up the truck and drove it too U-Haul to rent the 12ft trailer i was going to need. It was 10:15 when i got there and they started to hook up the truck then another problem!

The man looks up at me and asks "Do you have a brake light adapter?" What? I ask him what are you talking about. Well aparently our adapters weren't the same so the brake and turn lights on the trailer won't going to work. So I ran to one shop close by and they didn't have an adapter in my size and then i went to another and they didn't have one either but suggest that I might be able to build one from scratch. I'm like the what the hell, I have to have this to pick up the wood. 20mins later out of spare parts from the shop i built a adapter that would fit the truck and hoped that i wrired it correctly.

Drove back to U-Haul and connected the trailer again. We tryed out the adapte i had built. Ok left turn signle works, brakes work, right turn signle doesn't work! So close! I try a few more wire combinations and it doesnt help. The employee said that it was ok and since the majority of my lights worked I could go. Finally! So I'm off and hit the freeway.

30 mins later after onlly going a max of 55MPH I came to a big construction site and i met with the pastor of West McKinley Assembly of God, John. Him and his friend hoped in the truck and directed me among piles of industry equipment, sand, rock, and dirt to a hidden spot where most of the wood was that they were keeping.
The guy was going to load it by forklift and since our trailer had walls we had to raise the floor by adding pallets so he could set them on top. After a few minutes he drop a good 600lbs of wood on the trailer.
On the way back was really sketchy. Haulling all that weight and driving at high speeds (still under 55MPH) at times the trailer would start whipping back and forth and I would have to cruise down to keep it under control. Even all the big rigs were passing me! That was a new experiance, all in all I got the wood back safe and sound
and it took a good 3hrs to unload everything into the shed. Were lucky to have found this for as cheap as it was and a few were warped/molded from recent rain but about 244 of them were still fine. I'll be looking foward to our next build after christmas.
All of you have a Merry Christmas!
