I Should Have Stayed With the Trailer!!!!!

When I got up this morning, Zar was up and ready to go! I took one look and almost went back to bed.

I made the mistake of telling Zar that he could unpack the wood last night.  I did hear some rummaging around after I went to bed, but didn't think too much of it... I should have paid more attention to the clunks...

If I had counted, there probably would have been eleven clunks or more...

There are eleven full sheets of plywood and one partial sheet.

I don't think that I have to worry about anything missing... Now all I have to do is punch them out a few at a time and get started...

Unfortunately, Zar is not much help with this part.  He is not great at lifting sheets of plywood that is ten times longer than he is.

I have to hunt up a few heavy books to hold up the sides whilst the glue dries.

This is going to be a BIG job... I should have made a trailer!!!

I have been looking at the directions... Reading them at least twice.

Now all I have to do is locate the floors and walls and get started... This could take a while...

I am beginning to regret telling Zar that he was next in line... He's a good guy, so I am not going to say anything.  I am going to bite the bullet and get to work. 

I am just a little envious of Tessie and Letty.  They are drinking coffee and eating toast. A very relaxed pair this morning...

Oh well. Back to work.

See you tomorrow.

Zar's Bizarre Bazaar....

Zar was nice to me yesterday and helped me get a day off.  I decided that he needs a big reward. 

He is usually there if I need him to help. Tessie and Letty on the other hand have become fast friends and are out for whatever they can get. Zar helped me get the box of the Brimbles Mercantile open.  Then he sat down and immediately started reading the direction sheet.

The new Terrible Two ran the other way when I got out the trailer kit... I do believe that they were trying to avoid helping.  Tessie is a bad influence on the new Letty. I do believe that there is a new Terrible Two! And Tessie has a new sidekick! As a reward. for sticking by me, I have decided to let the new Terrible two wait for their turn.

After all, Zar has been waiting a long time for the Steampunk Store, and I think that he deserves it more than those two! He got me out of working yesterday and I like someone that can wait until I am in the mood!

I have a Dr. appointment this afternoon.  Just a check to see that everything is going ok. It is!!!

After I get back Zar and I are going to start work on the new store! Those other two can build the new trailer themselves if they want it now... Otherwise, they can wait until I finish something that I promised Zar years ago... Back to the drawing board.  See you tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

I Still Have one friend...

In the Mini world... Zar came to me this morning.  He told me what to do about the two warring factions.  Tessie and Letty are driving me mad.  They both want houses and they want them now.

Zar came up with an idea to keep them both out of my hair.  At least for the time being...

He said "This is how we handle it. Pull the Brimble's Mercantile Kit out and put it on the work table.  Tell them both that you are thinking of working on this kit for me, instead of their trailer and house kits. Then sit down with a sketch book and doodle for the rest of the day.

They will think that you are designing for me. That will scare them away.

Then he finished with. Of course you don't have to work on my kit first, but the idea will scare them both."


You will have time to sit and relax and they will stay out of your hair...
That was a great idea.  However I don't think that I will use until tomorrow.

I checked on Letty first.  She was still sawing logs in the spare room... I didn't wake her.

I figure that, if they are both going to be on my case, I can wait until tomorrow for them to start... Yup. I am leaving the Brimble's Mercantile box on the table for them to speculate about. This should be fun.

Then I went over to Tessie's place.  She was also still asleep.  They must have stayed up most of the night, discussing what they were going to have in their new abodes.

As far as I am concerned, they can both sleep until tomorrow morning.  Then I am going to hit them with Zar asking me to do his "Balthazar's Bizarre Bazaar".

I sure am glad that Zar is on my side.  I am taking the rest of the day off.

See you tomorrow.
