The crane and trucking company just called to ask if they could put off
tomorrow’s caboose move by a week. They need the equipment to support an
emergency call. The Golden Gate Railway Museum was OK with adding another
week to the schedule. Getting GGRM’s historic rolling stock off the San
Francisco Hunter’s Point property and into their new homes in other museums
and train companies is taking longer than anticipated.
My son Paul and his friend Zach are out in the backyard moving bricks. This
is one of their Spring Break weeks and John offered them $20- for a pizza
lunch (anything they want to eat and they can keep the change) if they moved
the old bricks edging the former swimming pool and stacked them out of the way.
For young teenage boys, this is a good deal. John took the pool liner to the
dump this morning and we hope to have work start on filling in the pool soon.
We thought they would be here yesterday but so far no one has arrived.
Now that it is out and stacked with the nails removed, the redwood decking from the
pool has many more splits than we thought. We still may be able to remill some
of it for the caboose roof but I think much of it will end up keeping the cats
warm from the fireplace next winter.
