We headed up to the land on Thursday of Labor Day weekend because the garage door was scheduled to be installed at 9:30 on Friday morning.
The gnats were back on Thursday night, so Gerald tried out his new gnat protection device, though he did not want to be photographed.The theory behind the device is that the gnats only drive Gerald crazy when they buzz around his ears. This worked better than his previous gnat protection device, which consisted of torn pieces of dryer sheets hung over his ears. He did not want me to photograph that one, either.
I didn't like this as well. He couldn't hear the gnats, but he couldn't hear me either, or at least so he said.
The garage door installer arrived around 10 a.m. and worked all day. It was nearly 5 p.m. by the time he was finished, but the garage door was installed.
Meanwhile, I worked on waterproofing the block work so we could backfill the dirt around it.
Saturday morning, J.C. Campbell and a helper he recruited from the Bagdad mine came to work on the floor. By 10 a.m. they had installed all the floor joists over the garage.
Then they started nailing down the sub-floor. By 3:30 that afternoon, we had a lockable garage.
