OK - you want to go in... and then maybe give us a call when you want us to come?
Sure! Maybe we could do it around lunch time. Either that or go back just after five when there aren't many folks around.
Let us know what you want to do when you know. We don't have a lot going on today :~)
Vat 'o Coffee!
Not a lot going on is exactly how life should be the day after Thanksgiving...
I'll call when I figure out how long the project is gonna go!
Just one update...apparently most of the building is closed - that door where I had you let me out is locked. I *think* the big door on the front is open, but I'll hafta check.
OK - will it fit out any door? or is it vital you have access to the big doors?
Should fit out any...it isn't huge. Just thought the big ones would make things easier.
closer to Baltimore. (AAco)
Is there a time crunch? Do we have to do it now or can it wait for a clear day with less chance of rain?
Less than a week to go...are you going to make it? You have just over 10,000 words to go.
Thanks for the help! Too bad about the freak downpour...but all's well that ends well. Think I'll give it a bit before I attempt plugging in the light, though...
That might be a good idea :~)
Just under 10k, actually - tagline fix.
I'll finish. Might push it to the end, but I'll finish. Been goofing off because of the holiday, but I'm on target enough to get away with that.
Heh, now the sun's out and we have blue skies. Someone's having a bit of fun with us. ;~D
It just ain't right.
As you can see, we had to decide how to best cut it, because it was in a rather precarious position. We decided, after reviewing what we know about physics, gravity, levers and see-saws, that we could cut it pretty safely at the fence line. Being that it was wedged pretty well between the two alders, and against a fir on the other side, we figured when it was cut there's only so far it could go. It would go straight up, or down... depending on which end was heavier.
We cut through it with a combination of sawsall and handsaw.
We cut through it till it was just hanging on by a hair, then ecurbh just pushed on it till it broke loose.
Here's the video of that exciting moment!
And here's where it now sits... it's clear of the fence now, and stable there... The fence sprang back into place, not terribly stretched. The horses can at least be turned back out there.
So yeah - we had to push it. :~)
Scary video. ;-)
Did look like it *could* have been a bad scene, in any case! Glad it went well!
Wasn't it? I didn't know, when I was standing there, if I was filming a future America's funniest home video. :~)
Heh...I think Gidget could win one of those types of competitions. She cracks me up. Should have brought Stephen over while he was here so he could see her in action.
