HOWEVER, as she was talking to Inga about some plans on what exactly to do up there, a light bulb lit up in my head. I headed out to Home Depot. My plan was to make a ramp to get the drywall and other trash from upstairs to the dumpster without having to lower buckets down, as that was time consuming. I came up with it as I was wondering around looking at the various options. Metal roofing material was too expensive, so I moved to OSB. a 4X8 sheet was just over $7.00, and if ripped would make 2 - 2X8 sheets (yes, I can do math!). Well, I need about 14 - 16 feet of ramp, so...8 feet plus 8 feet = 16 feet...hmmmm. Add in 2 - 2X4X16's, and we have a ramp! So, the result is what you see here. DId it help? You bet it did! I knocked out more trash today in just a couple hours than I did the previous 2 days! Oh, and Karen saw me starting to work, and came up to work. She knocked down a BUNCH more drywall while I got it out of there and into the dumpster.
Well, that is all for tonight. Karen and I are both thoroughly exhausted. We could both use really good back massages!
That Karen is a worker, isn't she? sorry she has a cold. You know Uncle Ed and I got sick with one during the night after Doris' party. We both woke up sick Sunday morning. We're both pretty well over it now. I am totally, but he still sounds sort of choked up and is still coughing.
ReplyDeleteThe ramp is brilliant. Great job.
