After returning to the house, we drove to Home Depot for some 2X4s and four swivel casters. We planned to build a stand for the generator to keep it above potential flood damage. We wanted the stand to be about 4 feet tall and could operate without being removed from the stand. The stand was very easy to build and seemed to work well.
While we built the stand, Scott came to the house to complete installation of the kitchen cabinets and the vanity in the first-floor bathroom. Scott is the person who rebuilt the house before Whittingtons purchased it.
Mary had a great idea for lunch, so we drove to The Freezer to get two full orders of steamed shrimp. We sat at the back porch and enjoyed the peel and eat shrimp.
As Scott worked, Mark and I gathered the kayaks and paddling gear to be loaded into the pickup later this evening. Once Scott finished with the cabinet installs, Mark reconnected water to the vanity.
We needed a few plumbing items and a short section of baseboard for the bathroom. We were able to get everything quickly at Home Depot. On the way back, we stopped at Publix for a few items. Back at the house we cut the baseboard sections to length and nailed them in with the pneumatic nailer.
Dinner was a garden salad with boiled shrimp leftover from lunch.
By the time we were able to load the kayaks and gear into the pickup, the no see ums were bad so we loaded quickly and got the boats strapped down.
Cindy had the makings of ice cream sundaes out so we had an excellent dessert. As we ate the sundaes, we watched two specials from Idaho Public Television. The first program highlighted the many species of pollinating bees. The second program was on an Idaho project to make wildlife crossing overpasses at some of the state’s highways where collisions with wildlife are most common.
