Day 55

We got up at 9:30.  That's beginning to be early for us.

After breakfast and some surfing we went to the post office and Home Depot.  The one on Slaughter had a lot of those tool chests.  It weighs 170 pounds, so I'm glad there were some people there to load it onto the truck for us.

When we got home I backed into the garage and we unloaded the chest.  It wasn't actually too bad.  We slid it off the back and onto the step stool.  It did end up falling a few inches to the floor, but that was all right.  After that we went inside for some lunch and surfing.  Cabela's had some cyber Monday items I liked with free shipping.  So I made an order.

Then it was time to put the chest together.  The packaging was amazing.  They used cardboard, styrofoam, and these really stiff cardboard like braces to build a really sturdy package.  There was no way that the small drop we had when unloading would hurt it.  Even though it was sturdy, it was easy to take apart.

Putting the chest together was fairly easy, but time consuming.  The handle and wheels were attached with bolts that bolted into the chest.  Unfortunately paint had clogged up the threads in some of the bolt holes.  That made it hard to get the bolts in.  The other issue was the need to put the chest on it's back, and then put it upright again.  That took some effort.

I had some drawer liner left over from an earlier chest.  It was enough to do one of the drawers.  So I cut it up and moved the wrenches into it.  It looks really good.  I have another 8 drawers to go.  I'm not sure what I'll do with the old chest.

Ellen went to archery in the evening.  I watched a couple of movies on Netflix.
