Day 3107

 I woke up at 9 and played games for an hour.  Then it was up for breakfast.  Despite the late start I got a lot accomplished today.

I started out by going outside to the shed with Ellen.  She held the ladder while I climbed up onto the roof to cut the tree branches that were overhanging it.  The walnut tree is completely dead and I didn't want them breaking off and damaging the shed.  I took a while to cut the branches, but it went well.  I even managed to get off the roof without injuring myself.

Ellen helped me carry the branches to the burn pile.  When we were finished I went inside the shed to redo my plan for fixing the floor.  I wasn't happy with the plan I did yesterday.  When I was finished I had a plan I liked and a bill of materials.  I drained the tanks and then we put Abby in the truck and went to Lowe's.

I needed 6 2x4's, two sheets of plywood, some screws, and FlexSeal.  It all cost over $150.  Lowe's doesn't even bother to put prices on their lumber anymore.  I spent another $20 on 2 cu ft of river rock.  Loading up the truck safely was a challenge because of the trailer hitch.

We ate a late lunch at Mickey D's and went home.  Ellen helped me unload.  Then I started cutting up one of the plywood sheets.  I made new shelving for the shelf and a reinforcement base to put under it.  The rest of the sheet is unused.  I also coated one side of the other sheet with FlexSeal.  I'm hoping that will make it more water resistant.

It was after 4 when I was done, so I went back inside and watched videos.  Ellen fixed stir fry for dinner.  After dinner we took Abby for a walk over to the trailers.  She seemed to be rocket powered again.  That was good because she'd had diarrhea twice last night.  Ellen put her on a rice and pumpkin diet today.  It seems to have worked.
