15APR25 - Hope your taxes are done or like our lady always does, that you've filed for an extension. (smile)

Got busy today and with Damian's help we not only made a run to Homeless Depot for materials but, nearly finished the project. Which was BTW, to build a shipping container for the broken espresso machine.

There's no one in this little burg who can duit and I've emailed the outfit from whom I purchased the machine to see if they will have a looksee and fix that which needs to be fixed.

If for some reason that guy balks, I'll probably wind up shipping it to some outfit in San Antonio or Houston, we'll see. But in any case, I need the container to protect the darn thing and no doubt the shipping company will wrap it in plastic and put it on a small pallet as well.

What remains is installing the top and bottom pieces to include extra support on the bottom because the darn thing is heavy! But we should be able to knock out the rest in a couple hours tomorrow then we can disconnect the machine, pull bubble wrap around it a couple times, and see if it will fit in the new box. (fingers crossed)
