Day 626

I woke up at 7, probably because I went to bead early last night.  I turned over and went back to sleep until a little after 8.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast with a little surfing.  Then we drove to the Lowe's by the airport to pick up the stuff for the 5-stand.  Of course they didn't have some brackets I needed.  That meant a stop at Home Depot to pick up the rest.

All of that meant that we didn't get back until 11:45.  I unloaded the truck at the 5-stand and then got the stuff I needed to do the job.  I didn't want to eat yet, so I started on the first window.  It took me an hour to do because I was working out how to do things.  It came out nice though.

It was 1 when I finished the first window.  I went back to the trailer to eat.  Ellen was watching a chick flick.  I ate and then went back.  Ellen said she would come over to see how the first window looked when the movie was done.

Ellen got there while I was about half finished with the second window.  She helped a little and I asked her to stay because I might need help with the large (third) window.  It turned out that I didn't really, but her being there did speed everything up.  I'd forgotten to buy brackets for the divider 2x4's in the large windows.  I toe nailed them in instead.  That will work fine.  Ellen stayed for the rest of the windows, and we were done by 4:30.

On the way back I stopped to throw away the scraps, a few pieces of wood under 6 inches).  The club door was open, so I took the left over screws and nails in.  I also let Dave and Vandy know that the job was done.

We went back to the trailer and I put everything away.  Then it was dinner and a lot of online shopping, but no buying.  About 7:30 I went out to do my exercises.  I noticed that the tree branches were rubbing the roofs on the shed and well house.  So I got out the ladder and cut them down and hauled them away instead.  I think that was equivalent.

The rest of the evening was reading.
