I had a long post just about ready to post and hit spell check, only I hit refresh instead. Yep it is all gone! So I am starting over. Is this Monday by chance?
We spend yesterday working on a huge jigsaw puzzle. It wasn't the number of pieces that made it so big, it was the size of the pieces. Most of the pieces were 4ft x 10 ft. A few were 2 x 10 and some were only 8 ft tall. Here is a picture of the pieces before we started.

The stack closest is all roof pieces. These are the ones we worked with yesterday. They all had to be taken out and sorted and fitted together. This freezer was 20 x 30 feet. We are planning on making it about 10 x 20. We sorted and resorted them to get a top that would fit our needs. I think it ended up 10 x 19. Close enough! Then all the pieces had to be put back in the barn neatly stacked. They really aren't heavy, but they got heavy by the time we took them all out, moved them around and put them all back in.

Here is the puzzle in the making stages. I don't know why this picture is so dark, the sun was bright. Remember the closest pieces are 8 ft long and the far ones are 10 ft long. some are 4 ft wide and a few, very few were only 2 ft.
I am hoping that we will get it build in a timely manor. Then I will have room for aging cheese. I will also have less trouble juggling milk. I sent 11 gallons to friends on Monday. Tue. my ds announced in a very dramatic voice we have to much milk! LOL He couldn't get milk in the frig because they had taken advantage of having space to stick the crock pot and a big pan in there instead of putting the food in containers that took less space. You guessed it! They had to do it correctly!
I know I had more written earlier, but for now I am drawing a blank. All have a blessed day! |
