Our hardwood floors have arrived!

Our hardwood floors have arrived. They came via freight in a giant semi. I received a call on Thursday saying they'd show up today (Monday) or tomorrow, and they'd tell me Friday which it would be. I hadn't received a call as of this morning, and was planning to call on my way to work. Good thing I didn't wait because the guy I talked to said they cleared customs in Canada (Port Huron) this morning. I guess I had to work from home then. The truck arrived around 12:30, and the driver reiterated that he couldn't do any work outside of the trailer. That meant he'd unload the boxes from the palette, and I'd carry them into the house. The fact that they came via semi meant that he had to park in the road and I had to carry them all the way up the driveway. Oh, it happened to snow and freeze our driveway yesterday. I sure am glad they didn't deliver yesterday when it was 35 degrees warmer and 45 degrees outside. After trip number 15 of carrying one 52.5lb box at a time, I really didn't feel the cold though. After trip number 50, I could barely fell anything in my right hand. After trip 80, I was glad to have only one trip left. Then the driver carried the last two boxes in on his shoulder. What a glory whore. The picture above is just less than half of them.

From what I've read, I'm not supposed to install them for 3-4 days so they can get acclimated to the humidity of the house. It's a good thing, because I think it'll take that long before I'm able to feed myself again. Well, I'm off to go read up on hernia symptoms.
