Watching Glue Dry....

There are several inner pieces that have to go on and dry before we can put the body of the trailer together...

Of course, Tessie and Letty thought it best to hold them down by standing on them...

I thought that Letty would be smarter than that... Nope. They were both standing on them to hold them down.

Said pieces were at the outer edge. Neither of them were doing any good at all...

Then they both had to hem and haw about how tall to make the opening for the shower tower...

I will be making these decisions without their help.  They are just there to make comments anyway.

I am the one making all of the final decisions. I am the one that knows what will work and what won't.

The last decision of the day was how high to make the foundation... Tessie kept telling me that it had to be high enough to make a dragon a place to live under there....OK.. I will take that into account.  But, if she gets it...It only has to be big enough for a couple of snakes and an alligator...

I am going back now and chase everyone out.  Nobody has to sit and watch the glue dry. I check it every once in a while.  It doesn't need a watchful eye... Although that keeps them both out of my way.

Back to work.  See you tomorrow.

Letty! My Kind of Girl!

Tessie did her usual thing.  She never came down from the top of the shower tower...

On the other hand, Letty waded in and started helping immediately. bare feet and all.

I made her look like I looked when I was in college... I was about three inches shorter, but I couldn't make myself shorter than Tessie.  That just wouldn't be fair...

Anyway, we got a good start on the trailer.

As with the one before, I had to patch a few places that I wanted to look better than a trailer for a six year old.

Tessie was fascinated by the glittery top of the tower.  I didn't tell her that I am not keeping that.

You know how she likes glitter on anything and everything...

As I said, Letty pitched right in and started working. Between the two of us, we got all of the sawing and gluing done on the pieces that I knew we had to do.  There will be a few others that will have to be done to fill in a couple of places.

Those can't be done until I start putting things together.  I am very happy about what we got done so far this morning.

Tomorrow I will probably have some of the outer walls put together and the tower cut out to fit where I want it. That is, if Tessie stays on top of said tower and doesn't try to help. 

I like the way that Letty is pitching in.  We are getting things done. At least Tessie is staying out of the way.  I am going back to work now.  I may lock Tessie in the workroom before the day is over, but with Letty around, we will keep going.

See you tomorrow.
