We left Endicott early this morning .. we were on a mission. We had to get back here bu 2pm to meet Brian.. He was bringing our……. our….. our….. pool table !

yes.. I finally gave in to the rest of the family’s desire to have a pool table.. with just diane and I here most of the time.. we have the space.. and diane and gabe love playing pool !.

 

Brian showed up with his helper Tyler.. just as we were  driving up .. .. Challenge one was our uneven house.. One corner was actually one and a half  inches  below the other !

 

after some major leveling, on came the slate.. 

 

that too had to be careully balanced .. 

 

then the gaps between were filled with putty and smoother over with beeswax.. 

 

then came the felt..

 

fianlly the rails..

 

here it is all put together… .. a strange and fun new arrival..  we waited for gabe to come back for diane to take the first shot..

 

first  toast !

AND HERES THE FIRST SHOT !

I’ve tied a few shots … but it’s going to take a while.. I’m a klutz when it comes  to this sort of  eye hand coordination ..  I’ll keep trying..

 

ok.. need to sleep.. more tomorrow.

nite all. nite sam
