It took a while, but it’s finally
started… and completed. A couple of
months ago when the taxes came in I bought a few things. One was a wagon we could use, instead of
getting a wheelbarrow. That in itself
was quite a project to put together, but we got it done, in the dark, BA and
I. We were feeling pretty cocky starting
out, about half way through a bit desperate and in the end glad to have it
done. The dog house was slated to be
done the next day. Yeah right. Within a few days we did get a nice little
foundation put in for it, but it wasn’t until tonight, with it getting close to
dark, that we started, and consequently finished it.
Now
granted, it seemed as though every time we had time it rained, and today was
the first day in well, a couple of months that we’ve had a day with no plans, a
day we could just stay home and get some things done, finally a day off that I
wasn’t too exhausted to do anything. A
day that I could get some cleaning done, cook a real dinner, fix a bicycle,
read a book, anything but put together that dreaded dog house.
Now,
I’m a bit embarrassed because it turned out to be the simplest assembly project
yet. Unlike the bench we put together
and the wagon, this one I could have done solo, by myself… with no help what so
ever. The thing was pathetically easy to
put together. I can’t believe I had put
it off for so long thinking it was going to be another monster project that
would take hours to assemble (okay, maybe just an hour) and require thought in
addition to reading the directions. Even
opening the box and getting the pieces out of this one was easy. I’m beginning to think the hardest part of
this project is going to be convincing BA that this really is a dog house and
not her new club house.
Maybe
though, maybe it wasn’t any easier than the others. Perhaps, BA and I have gotten ourselves in
sync well enough that things just go easier.
Maybe I wasn’t so tired that my functioning was limited, then again… it
may just have been easier. There’s only
one way to know for sure.
Use
my new (to me) toy, and get that chicken coop done!
