Well, yesterday was the great day and i was pretty nervous, first container loading ever. wasn't sure if the truck could turn around at my sawmill as i don't have to much space, it was pouring rain all day, we have the hurricane influence from the Caribbean, not ideal but we still managed.
Truck came at 1pm instead of 6am  , welcome to CR! sent all workers home at 7am and they came back at 1pm. we lasted 6 hours to manually load 19tonnes of lumber, what a hard day. but everything turned out good, i'm relived.
US here we come! i hope that stupid strike doesn't affect us

How would you unload. Assuming same way it went in, by hand. That is impressive use of space. Well done. What does it wiegh? I know, it'll  be kilograms. 

[Resonator]

Yup, we called those "fingerprint" loads when I drove truck. Every box (or stick in this case) had your fingerprints on it by the end of the day. Open the door very slowly, and look up to watch nothing falls out.

Whoa! Well done Ramon! That looks like a ton of work! If the container is going to the west coast I don't think they are striking.

Not so many years ago (50-60 and before), most lumber was moved across the USA by rail car and they were hand loaded stick by stick like Ramon is seen doing. In shipping containers, would be hard to load otherwise, I'd suspect.

Congratulations Ramon.  I'm glad to see things are coming together.

Congratulations Ramon. Does that container need to be heat treated for insects before  going on the boat.  Is that going to Tule Peak Teak on the west coast    .
Or another continent?

The container was put on the ground at a special area near the harbor and had fumigation for 24h, it's mandatory and only one firm can officially do it, so we get the international fumigation certificate.
