Construction Challenges and Solutions

The video discusses the challenges faced in a construction project due to delays in lumber delivery. The lumber is being milled at the bottom of a mountain by Reggie, which adds time to the schedule. The video explains the logistics of using a sawmill and the difficulties in transporting lumber up the mountain, including slick roads and clay. Strategies to optimize the number of trips needed to transport the lumber are also discussed.

What is causing the delay in the construction process?

• Weather conditions

• Waiting for lumber
