This is what I have been up to today. The contractors arrived at 9:30 am (expected at 10 am) Gary brought in his skid steer and we put a lag bolt in the edges of the old door and pulled out the old posts. Gary used the auger to dig a couple of holes and the contractor filled them with cement and put in a bracket to bolt the new support to. Now we wait for the cement to cure and Monday or Tuesday the new "Hot Pink" doors will arrive and be hung. Then I write a big check.
Trish and Old thanks you for your kind comments on my work. Liz says I should have a shop, but no one ever comes to Carpenter for shopping and I can't move to Cheyenne - too far from the tractor parts. I am not driving every day to Cheyenne to tend a shop. There was a home made shop in Cheyenne, but Gary's wife didn't have much luck with it and they cut their hours. They didn't have the traffic as their space was downtown Cheyenne, going the way of most downtown over here as a consequence of the malls and a lot of people in Cheyenne go to Ft. Collins. People over here just don't understand the principals of hometown economics and wonder what happens to their towns. Ok, putting soap box away.
