Well? Problems.

 .

.

Too high, too long.  I... measured well, I simply didn't figure correctly.  Beside how out of trim the outbuilding is, I measured each piece as if it was the... outer section?  Yes.  Something like that.  Which means I have to cut, trim, refit, and try it again.  The base is in.  For one of them.  And, that is solid and good.  Oh, and the height?  Too much, for a top entry, and even close to the floor.

Which means, shortly, I have to get out and tear and rebuild.  I was thinking more new wood would be needed, but not so.  I don't think.  I do have to find a metal blade for one of the reciprocating saws... sawsall...  Cutting the nails, then using the angle grinder to cut the cage material.  About four inches off the length, and height... of the shorter cage sides.  More off the larger, of course.

Still, with the base in, life is... beginning.  I still have another base to put in, but that shouldn't be as difficult.  Mostly.  So tired though.

I didn't end up finishing all of the dishes.  I did get a bit more done, but... couldn't push through.  I realized, at about 01:30, that if I stayed up to finish the dishes, I would not get to sleep until four or five.  Moving too slow.  So, I just... called it a night.  I don't have much to do.  I will reset them to a rinse as I go out to work next time.

Muscles hurt, tired, exhausted, but staying warmer.  I'll have a bite shortly.  I tried one of the sausage patties cold.  Not... so much.  I'll heat the last two and have them with tea.  Then a bit more rest.  I can't work too hard or too fast or too frequently, but I can... probably... get the two cages today?  Maybe.  If so, I have tomorrow, early, to put in the last parts... perhaps the upper platform, and separation plates.  Ugh.

I really wanted to just get fresh wood.  But... that would take even more time, a lot more energy, and more money.  So... yeah.  Things I am either low on, nearly out of, or pushing one way or another.  Assuming I can find a metal cutting blade... have to cut the nails.  On to breakfast.  Later.
