Today I checked off house fix it item #589. Built a new gate. It's a bit cockeyed but it works and isn't red and falling apart. This gate took me 6 hours to build. I bruised the tip of my left thumb and have a gnarly blood blister on the tip of the thumb pad. Dan did good with helping with measurements when I wanted to throw everything against the wall. He's always great at bring me down when I'm pissed the f off. We need to finesse the gate so it doesn't look cockeyed. That will be for another day when I have another 24 hours of being home.
