we have drywall
The following is an email I received after the drywall that had been donated by Stock Building Supply to the Gilliam & Associates Realty Nashville Flood Relief Drive arrived in Nashville. It is from Kim Council with the Community Resource Center in Nashville, TN.

Then someone arranged for this company out of North Dakota to get it to us. The driver was awesome. And he did a mean job backing his 18 wheeler into a tight spot. We had people honking horns, cussing and everything. It was beautiful!David Thornton and Scott Kinnear with Cumberland Materials helped us out with the unloading on this end. Scott dispatched a great guy named Jose and his partner. Jose can drive one of these fork lifts like a master. But, he wouldn't let me behind the wheel. I'm not sure why. But who cares, David saved us a few hundred bucks or over use of volunteers. That stuff is HEAVY!!A few challenging moments of getting 12 ft drywall through an 8 ft door, and yes, we were done. Fortunately we had Pico on had to supervise the whole thing and keep everyone moving today.So spread the word ladies, I have dry wall I need to move out before the end of the month! Thank you to everyone involved. Nashville is very grateful for your generosity.KimCumberland Materials Truck
