My project for the day was to get my bike barn fastened down and to try to seal it from the dust that was getting in and on the bike. When we moved here I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep the bike barn and even had advertised for sale. When it didn’t sell I decided to keep it and glad now that I didn’t sell it. I didn’t know where I wanted to put it in the car port and tried a couple of different places and final settled on one spot. So for the last ten months it has been sitting in the same place. I was using concrete blocks to hold it in place. So today was the day to get it fastened down with bolts and anchors. I want to seal the opening from the bottom of the frame to the concrete and thought that some pool noodles what work. So late morning Cheri and I went to buy the pool noodles, Ron told me that he saw them at the Dollar Store for one dollar each. So our first stop was the Dollar Tree store and they were out of them. We checked three more Dollar stores with no luck. Our next stop was Big Lots; no pool noodles but manage to spend 60 dollars. We were close to two fabric shops that Cheri wanted to stop at, another 80 dollars and no pool noodles. We made a stop at Home Depot to look at potted gallon size Mums on sale, five for ten dollars. We decided to that we needed the two gallon size and would wait to see if they would come on sale. I also got the anchors I needed for the bike barn, no noodles. Ok I gave up and went to Wal-Mart and found the noodles I wanted. We also eat lunch at a new place called Little Ninja. It just opened a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty good and plan on going again sometime. When we got home Cheri headed to the sewing room and me outside to work on the bike barn. It looks like the pool noodles will work really well to seal the opening. I hope to finish the project tomorrow.
