my relative who is a safety officer sent us some pictures of people doing stupid things on construction projects. we took pictures so he could use ours. we forgot to bring the dolly to unload, so dad came up with a scheme. i backed the pickup truck to the porch. we put a 2x12 from the tailgate to a rusty bedframe we found in the yard. we figured it might collapse so we also put two saw horses with lumber on top to raise it to bed level. then we got two plywood (hurricane window covers) and reinforced with two by fours, strategically placed screws. i walked the washer down on these plywood pieces supported by magic and wishes. it worked.

dad was depressed, first time he admitted it. i hooked up the dryer by myself because he walked off after a hissy fit. we later made up and hugged but he is still depressed. i made him cocoa, 1st smile all day.
