Awake: 8:32am      Temp 66       sleep 8+48       rain...heavy @ times...TRW's, then sunshine.

I must be aging over this work project. I can't remember sleeping this long ever. Anyway, the Masons are here working on the backside bricking the chimney. Good thing they have roof covering; but Sky, the masons helper, is braving the weather like there is none.

K & I struggled to move the heavy items from our garage into the game room today. We had to remove the door in the hallway DSC0001079.JPG                                    to get the Helicopter game through. DSC0001080.JPG Then (2) table tops; we thought they were slate for the pool table because of the weight, but no, just heavy table tops. Of course, we are using the dolly & skitters & they do help out, although not always. Then the phone booth: the skitters & dolly couldn't handle it, so I arranged (4) 1.5 inch pipes & we rolled the phone booth on cardboard into the game room. When a pipe came out the back end, I would start it over again in the front. That worked great. We tried up righting it but for us: no way. Then we had our late breakfast. Afterward, we drove over to the storage building & spent from 2:00pm until 8:00 pm getting boxes out of crates:
                                Kathy is getting better @ opening the crates; DSC0001081.JPG              Here are some of the heavy items we handled this evening: diesel generator, DSC0001082.JPG                                       Shop-Smith with attached band saw, DSC0001083.JPG & grinding machine that had a broken pedestal. (1st real broken item). I had to pump air into the diesel generator's tires to be able to get it out of the crate & the small quad-runner as well. DSC0001084.JPG We completely emptied (1) crate but the other crate had a heavy buffet inside which we couldn't handle.

Dinner @ 9:30pm: Tuna salad, Triscuits, & cantaloupe.

Lights out: 12:34am.
