Gooode morning brothers and sisters of the sacred herb! 58F @ 88% RH, mooore rain and flooding, with the temperature predicted to reach 63F.

I picked up the lumber yesterday and made good progress on building the gate. Alas I discovered the metal gate frame and hardware is for a gate that swings in ward, and I had planned to swing it outward.

No way I can see to switch it and have it swing out, so looks like in is how I will finish it. I should wrap up my part today and will finish it once my neighbor returns from vacation and I have access to the inside of his garage to bolt things on his side in place.

Damn my lower back is pissed at me this morning and I'm not happy with it either...........

Morning mates! Sunshine and 68, heading for 86 (allegedly). Did my pooop in a bucket thing for that cologuard test. Disgusting. Gotta drop it off at the PO and see what the holdup is in getting the tractor in to the mechanics, then get the little red Jeep out for BEER DAY! Got to get my fanny in gear. The year's over half way gone, and we've only got three more months of warm weather before the leaf season, followed by the obnoxious white stuff season.
The older ya get, the quicker the seasons come and go.

You would think it would be that simple until you start to put the boards on and realize that the boards have to be on the opposite side of the hinges or the gate won't open 90 degrees if the boards extend far enough to hide and protect the hinge.

I don't want the gate frame facing the intruder for them to use as a ladder or access the hinge bolts.

PS: My hinge pins are on a corner bracket, not a plate like the one you showed.

How often does your doc let you do the Cologuard tests every year?
My doc does the stick test you do at home also

Don't know. It's the first time I took one. Ain't too sure I'm gonna take another. Don't like playin' in feces. Yuck.
Figured I'd toss the doc a bone. He told me that medicare jumps him for not talking me into tests that I don't want to do. They want a yearly CAT scan of my lungs (ain't gonna happen), a colonoscopy (ditto), and a finger wave (nope, just nope). I told him that they could feel free to check the records of any doc I've had through the years. Any of 'em will state that I'm not a model patient, so it just ain't him not doing his job.
