Metal Roofing and Synchronized Fork-Lifting

Above and below: two fork lifts taking the metal roofing off the truck.

Above: the hightech method of offloading. Below: How many trucks does it take to get the roofing back to the house?

Well I've got some new pics to share with you, but something's wrong with Blogspot - it won't take any of my pictures right now.

Let's just say that getting 32' long roofing panels off a truck and back 350' along a 20' wide driveway was interesting. It took 2 flat bed trucks, 2 forklifts, 1 tractor trailer, 3 drivers, 1 husband to supervise and video, 1 wife to photograph, and 2 kids as spectators to get the job done. Aw, we only had the road closed for a brief time! (although we were able to get a school bus through - the kids on our road were bummed, since they thought they were going to get to miss school!) Pics forthcoming as soon as the site lets me upload!
