Jim got the inside corner trim pieces he had ordered and showed us how they will work...
He finished cutting all the pieces to go around the receptacle...
And he cut the holes for the water lines...
In the afternoon, Jim decided it was time to see if we could get the package drop box out of the auto bay and onto the post! He put some foam pieces down so that the forks wouldn't mar the surface and put a blanket on the back...
Then Jim and I carried it out and set it on the forks, with the opening facing towards Jim so that he would be able to see inside when setting it on the post...
The moment of truth - Jim of course was hoping that everything would line up. It's not easy to make a post with bolts in place down at the end of the driveway, then make the box in the shop and expect everything to work perfectly!
Unfastening his steel place holder that hopefully kept the bolts in the right place...
Putting stainless steel washers on...
Then lifting the box into position...
It's in place and Jim is backing the Bobcat out...
Of course everything lined up perfectly and he attached the hardware...
Leveling...
Jim putting all his weight onto it to show how strong it is!
His stainless steel hardware came today so he was able to get the hinges on. He put more fasteners in just to keep everything strong...
He switched out the forks for the bucket on the Bobcat and took it back down the driveway to pick up his strap and foam. He did a little back dragging of the driveway where the treadmill pickup driver had dug in a bit.
