WITH LUCK THERE WILL BE ENOUGH OF THE TOOL /BLACKSMITH SHOP FOR THE DOGFEASTERS TO PAINT YELLOW-- OBJECT BEING TO MOVE TEH FACE-- OR FRONT--- FORWARD 4 FEET.... I DID GET 2 OF TEH 4 X 6 POSTS IN ... NEARLY WHERE THEY BELONG... TRICK IS TO TRY AND GET THE BOTTOM OF THE POSTS IN THE RIGHT SPOT AND SHOVE THE THING INTO VETICAL. WHERE IF YOU REMEMBER, MY DISCRIPTION OF VERTICAL IS WHEN THE POST NO LONGER LEANS ANY DIRECTION AND IS WEIGHTLESS TO HOLD. WITH ALL THAT GOING ON I NEVER HAVE ENOUGH HANDS TO HOLD ANYTHING LIKE A LEVEL....
MINUS A "T-SQUARE" I HAD TO NAIL UP TEH T-111 TO BE SURE TH EPOSTS WERE STRAIGHT-- OR RATHER WE COULD SHOVE THEM INTO A MOSTLY VERTICAL POSITION TO HOLD UTH PLYWOOD. HOWEVER I HAVE NOT YET BUILT ANY OF TEH INNERDS TO SUPPORT ODD THINGS LIKE.... THE ROOF..
IT IS LIKE BUILDING A STONE WALL FROM THE TOP DOWN. IT IS TRICKY. - THOSE 4 X 8 SHEETS OF PLYWOOD ASSURED ME THAT THE POSTS WERE VERTICAL.... ASSUMING THE BUILDING WAS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
GOT TO FINISH IT TODAY-- AT LEAST THE PART THAT WILL HOLD UP THE PAINT. OVER TEH YEARS... SCREWS HAVE BECOME MYPREFERRED OVER NAILS.-- MOSTLY BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT WHERE THINGS GO. I AM VERY CAREFUL TO SCREW THEM ALL IN CROOKED BECAUSE CROOKED NAILS- OR SCREWS HOLD BETTER THAN STRAIGHT ONES.
I THINK.... THE WORD IS... TO SCAB LUMBER ON A POST IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WILL HOLD UP A BEAM THAT WILL HOPEFULLY HOLD UP THE ROOF... I NEED TO DO THAT TODAY... OR RATHER GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT FOR ME.-- AND teh building HAS TO BE YELLOW--
THE REASON WE HAVE SUCH CHEERFUL PAINT ON THE BUILDINGS IS HOME DEPOT very nicely GAVE US A WHOLE PALLET OF ODD Piant... which also saved them from having to pay someone to take it awaay.

i hope we have some serious help today--- bercause we also have some moving to do to get "odd stuff" behind the t tent...and under teh tarps which arrived yesterday tehre is a new back for the t tent 30' x 8' --
fyi -- tarps plus.com has some interesting solutions not found in home depot type they have a mesh tarp BLACK, GREEN OR light TAn.... that is very good-- breezy open air-- but rain hits it and runs down-- also screens bugs..STAY AWAY FROM SPECIAL ORDER-- too expensive.

dogfeast is coming along faster than i anticipated... luckily... AS all teh cp's know... you takes us as you finds us-- it wold be nice ti get all dressed up for the "festing" but there is so much to run on a dialy basis that we do as best we can TO KEEP EVERYTHING FUNCTIONING and just want to enjoy everyone's arrival- specially when it reaLLY MEANS MORE PEOPLE HERE TO HELP !!

THE CALENDARS ARE HERE AND WILL BE SOLD AT DOG FEST--- LINDA ASKED THAT WE DON'T PROMISE TO MAIL THEM TIL AFTER OCT 1, BECAUSE SHE HAS ENOUGH TO DO WITH ADI ETC.. THOSE CALENDARS WILL BE GREAT TO HANG BEFORE 2020 BECAUSE THE COVER IS THE PICTURE OF THE DOGS "VOTING"
****
TEH OTHER THING THAT COULD STAND SOME PROFESIONAL ATTENTION IS.... THE PIG.... IF SOMEONE COMING KNOWS ABOUT THE REPAIR OF STATUES- OR TEH LIKE... MAYBE THE PIG COULD SEE AN IMPROVEMENT.-- IT WAQS ONCE A MERRY-GO- ROUND STATUE... BUT IT HAS BEEN AROUND TOO MANY MERRY'S AND IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE...
