Government Z (Book 1): The Beginning by Bryan D. Reid Page B

Christi said.  Once hooked to the docks Rus located the forklift and started loading the lumber needed.  Christi can you find duct tape and start taping all the PVC pipes together so they will be easier to load Rus asked.  Yes I can, I will also get the electrical wires rolled up and loaded into containers.  It took two hours then they had loaded all the lumber, hanging brackets, and electrical equipment in the store.  Rus also suggested they take the entire stock of ceiling fan/lamp combos.  Do we need anything else Christi asked?  Rus looked up and saw over Christi’s shoulder out in the garden department and saw a small Bobcat T250 mini scoop, a T80 mini bulldozer, and a Bobcat 331 mini excavator.  Those would help speed up construction I think Rus said.  They all fit perfectly on the trailer they locked up and made their way back to camp.  Come in Chris or Mike, this is Christi.  Go ahead Christi Mike responded.  We will be there shortly after eleven. We found some small construction equipment to help you with these projects Christi said.  A mini bulldozer, mini excavator, and a mini scoop Christi added.  Can you CB Bev and Bryan and see if they can find a mini steam roller that would help level the land to build on Mike said. 
    Bev and I headed west to see what hardware stores we could find that had not been explored yet.  We traveled thirty five miles west before we approached a large hardware supply store.  Bev dropped me off at the entrance and then went to park the rig in the docking area.  I entered the hardware store and made a B-line straight for the lumber department.  I found a forklift and loaded the first half of the trailer with four by fours and plywood.  Bev got a call over the CB from Rus and Christi.  Bev came out to the sales floor to tell me we needed to find a mini steam roller.  I gave her a funny look and laughed.  What for I asked.  Bev shrugged her shoulders and said I have no idea they just said we needed to find one.  After we finished loading the lumber I grabbed a few more pallets of cinder blocks.  Bev asked what those are for I thought that’s what Rus was getting today.   I told her it was for a special project Rus and I would be working on.  I grabbed a few heavy duty hooks that were capable of holding several tons of weight.  Bev and I locked the trailer and headed out in search of the steam roller.  Before we get the steam roller let’s head over to that party supply rental place.  We stopped and Bev asked what are we looking for here?  I said table and chairs for the mess hall that way everyone has a place to sit. As I walked in sitting right inside the door were two racks on wheels with about twenty chairs on each. Can you start loading these racks Bev I asked as I wheeled them out to her?  I am going to go look for tables next.  I found seven eight foot long tables.  These will be perfect I thought. We drove across town after we loaded everything from the party supply store until we came to a construction rental site.  We parked our truck in the dock and started looking across the two acre site.  Finally after fifteen minutes of searching we found a walk behind mini steam roller LTC08 and we loaded it into the trailer.  I also found a large roll off truck that has a large cable attached to the back end with six inch thick steel beams still on the flat bed.  This may come in handy I smirked.  Let’s check the office for keys and then head for camp.  After searching the office and finding the keys Bev and I headed back for camp it was shortly after twelve thirty.
    Rus and Christi arrived back right at eleven. Bev and I arrived back at camp around two in the afternoon. We parked the trucks in the driveway and unloaded the construction vehicles to help move the wall along faster.  Now we were able to dig the trenches for the rest of the walls in just a few hours instead of days by shovel.  We worked from dawn to dusk everyday for the next six
