This is the "Heidi" version, not neceessarily real spanish, or complete sentences.

My most difficult conversation of the week was when tried to ask a guy at a lumber yard for 3 eight foot long 1"x4" boards.Even though this includes a lot of numbers I had to resort to a lot of charrades. My prop was a tape measure and it barely helped. He did finally cut them for me from a 16' 1"x10".
