Day 579 Bent out of shape

9th March 2019

The objective today was to get the barn door sanded and painted. First I had to machine a groove along the bottom edge to accept the guide that attaches to the floor. This stops the door from flipping out. I rummaged around the shed and found my trusty router. I pulled out my workmate, my extension cable, and adjustable spanner, I made the cut in a single pass then had to put everything back in the shed again.

Kelli sent me a picture of some mangled metal and asked me to identify it. I was not sure of the scale of the thing, so it took a little time to recognise it. It turned out to be the missing ornament that we thought fell out of the truck at Aldi, and how I had to drive back in the freezing cold to look for it. Turned out that it must have fallen out of the truck in the driveway, and I probably ran over it when I drove to Aldi to look for the bloody thing.
