It was cold again this morning - mid 30's. We stayed in bed until about 8:30. Then it was pet stuff and breakfast. After that I went out to the garage to work on the trailer shoe box.
I started by shortening the uprights by .120 inch. That was to correct for the new top board, which was thicker then the old one. Then I used the air nailer to attach the old bottom and new top to the uprights. Then it was time to take Cooper to the vet.
Cooper passed his vet exam with the comment that he's a little fat. We stopped at Tomlinson's on the way home to get some more dog food enhancement. Devon has been hissing at Cooper since we got home. Apparently Cooper doesn't smell right.
I went back out to the garage when we got home. I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out how to mount the hinge. I finally went back inside to have Ellen enlarge a couple of the picture s that the website guy had posted. I also had lunch - a turkey sandwich.
I went back outside and kept working on how it was done. I finally figured it out. He attached the hinge to the upper stair. It's mostly carpet, but there is a couple of wooden supports. Unfortunately, the hinge I bought is the wrong color and size.
I decided I'd done enough "hard" stuff, so I spent the rest of the afternoon enclosing the bottom step. That way shoes won't slip in there when we're moving. If they did, they'd be impossible to get out. Then I went back to the house for a little surfing before taking the dog to the mailbox.
Ellen fixed sloppy joes for dinner. Then we went to Lowe's to return the unneeded hinge. They didn't have the right type, so we went to Home Depot and got what we needed. We did get Girl Scout cookies at Lowe's.
We got home just in time for pet treats. After that it was TV and surfing.
