I woke up at 7:30 and played games for an hour. Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast. After that it was outside to drain the tanks and work in the shed.
I started by spreading out the rock under the flooring. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but it wasn't easy. Then I got Ellen and we moved the new flooring in and dropped it down. Unfortunately it didn't quite fit. We took it back outside and I cut a small slice off one side. When we took it back it in fit OK, but was a little loose.
I put a few screws down and then caulked the gaps. Ellen helped clean up the messes I made. Then I put in the rest of the screws that go into the 2x4 spacers. I'll put in the ones for metal tomorrow. They require pilot holes, so it's slower to do. At that point Ellen went back inside. The final work was putting the second flooring section over the place where the shelf will sit.
I cleared off the few things on the shelves and replaced the shelving with the new stuff that I'd cut. Then I moved the self into position. My final actions was to put some of the stuff back on the shelving and take all of the scrap to the burn pile.
By then it was 11:30 and time to go north. The first stop was Bevell's to leave off Ellen's ring to be fixed. She lost a stone a while back. Then we had lunch at Chik-fil-a and waited there until it was time to go to the vet.
The vet pronounced Abby ready for surgery, but said we had to wait a month for her to recover from her heat. Oh well. After that we went to John and Patty's.
We had a typical visit. We talked, had a good dinner (hamburgers), and drank some. Abby wwas a pretty good visitor. We left kind of late, 9:30.
When we got home we fed the cats and went to bed.
