We stayed in bed for a little while this morning - surfing and Minions. Then it was get up, pet stuff, and breakfast. Then it was time to move the safe. We started at 10 and it took until three, without stopping for lunch.
Some things made it harder. First, I dropped the front of the dolly when we were getting it out the front door. There was no way I was lifting it back up. That required a whole lot of maneuvering to get the small dolly under the front, move it to the edge of the porch, and down onto the driveway.
Moving it across to the apartment was a bitch. I used the metal tube (really conduit) to lever it forward about 6 inches at a time. Of course the sun was shining and it was really hot. We got about half way and decided a change was necessary. I got the truck, hooked it up to the dolly and dragged it as near to the garage as I could get it. It took time and effort to back the truck around it.
After that it got better. I hooked up the engine lift to the dolly, lifted up the front end, and dragged it into the garage. Then I used the lift to stand the safe up. That was it for today. It will probably be Thursday before we position it in the apartment.
After that we both were really tired and needed showers. This was a lot of hard work for Ellen too, and she did a great job.
About 3:15 we left for the post office and lunch. We stopped at Freddy's for lunch. They gave Lucy a dish of ice cream. After that it was a short stop at HEB and then home. We both sat down in the chairs and didn't move. The evening was gun shows and football.
