Monday afternoon the truck arrived with our mobile high tunnel. Because our drive is narrow for a large truck, we unloaded by the highway.
We were the last of the three deliveries as we are the farthest north. Our parts were the farthest inside the truck.
We thought we had arranged help and would have a call from the driver when he finished the prior stop. I had spoken to someone at the shipping company to explain we needed some time to alert our helpers - they were busy at their own places. And I explained we were not listed correctly on google maps and that the driver needed to be west, not east of Turtle Lake.
Well, we got a call when the driver was lost east of town and a few hours later than expected. After many calls to voice mailboxes, etc, three of us toughed it out.
Because this hoop is anchored to the track, not the ground, the structure is heavier and more complex. Many parts. Lots of inventory. We remain grateful we were chosen, and are excited to continue moving forward on the project. We are so glad to get all the pieces onto the wagon and trailers and onto our farm.
Now Ken is improving the site for the tunnel. After he worked on the mobile high tunnel at Resilient Northern Habitats last weekend, he rethought location and how he wants to set it up. He will be clearing this week and the big equipment will follow soon after that.
Stay tuned for updates as the project progresses.
