2 more weeks of waiting!

[SS MAYFLOAT]

Here it is, boating season and my boat is waiting for materials. Called yesterday about my lumber,,,,,,Sorry sir, we don't have anything like that on order. HUH? WHAT! SO the last 3 weeks I have been waiting on something that didn't get ordered?,,,,,,, Sorry, but we don't know what happened. Yeah, right it was a small order and you didn't give a carp. I then called other mills for the douglas fir. Same answer,,,,"We will have to order it and it will be 2 weeks."<br /><br />Good thing I'm considered to be patient.....Think I have lost a few more hairs on my head while the others are turning gray.

Had the same problem last year with my manifolds.<br /><br />What are ya going to do? Wait. It's all you can do.<br /><br />I know the feeling all too well SS.

Re: 2 more weeks of waiting!

Thanks to the boat repar forum, I found that yellow pine makes a substitute for douglas fir. It is only a tad bit heavier and a bit stronger. <br /><br />SO now the wait is over and I can get on with my attack of the broken boat. Still lots of major work. At least I know I won't worry about the outdrive ripping off or the hull busting now. <br /><br />I do know that from now on, I will call for the next two days on anything that I order to verify that it is on order. Its shameful that a customer has to double check on their order, but I guess that is the norm for these days.

The little Mom and Pop lumber yards around here is where you go for speciality stuff. They wont your business.

Does this mean you don't want to hear about my nice weekend on the boat?<br />Bummer on the ordering snafu
