It was all on a cart waiting for me when I arrived.
Took it out to the car and put it on the rack.
Took me a long time to secure it, what with being terrible with knots and overly paranoid about it all falling off.
I finally got the ratcheting straps out and got them to work.
I had stupidly configured both straps through the wrong side of the ratchets.
But I eventually got it all home, driving slowly, like an old woman, the whole way.
I stood on the back fence by the garage to get the best angle.
Now it’s all in the garage. Waiting for me.
The great work begins.
Oh, my, yes.

The big lesson learned here was the trade-off as far as ordering online for in-store pickup. The good thing was that I got exactly the right size pieces, after having not found them at the store myself. (I could’ve asked someone.) The bad part was that these maybe weren’t the best quality pieces, that I could have gotten straighter 2x4s or ones with fewer knots, or plywood sheets with fewer knots or less bow or bend.
