Magical Gratitude Days: 20 of 31

Today I am grateful for my partnership with my husband!

We are installing doors on our Can-Am Defender! The bottom half was easy, but the hinges for the tops have been difficult to install!  The holes aren't lining up correctly!

We worked late into the evening hours,  trying every combination we could think off to make the doors fit! Yes, we followed the directions,  over and over again, lol! We finally stopped for the evening, so we could get a fresh start this morning! 


I love how brilliant ideas arrive when one sets a project or problem to the side!


This morning Dan woke up with a plan! So after morning chores and coffee we started working again! 


Dan needed to drill larger holes into the hinge plates that attached to the top half of the doors! (The doors each have 2 halves, so we can remove the top half for summer riding!)

I supported him from inside the Side By Side! I had my coffee and phone, so I was content! I ratcheted the top half of the door to the bottom half! I also marked the hinges so Dan could see where to drill the holes larger! 


He did the hard work, while I reflected and wrote! Teamwork!  Ya gotta love it!

Dan saw the vision and made it happen with his tools and experience! It's his art and creative outlet! A passion he has had most of his life! 


He had to do a bit more modifications on the passenger side door, but after the modifications worked perfectly on driver's side, he could invision and easily make the needed modifications for the second door!

The hinges are done, the doors work! The mirrors are on! We feel good about completing another project together! 



It's time to move onto the next task at hand! Picking up wood to burn for the winter, which our neighbor so graciously cut up for us!

Though before we worked, we decided to play! It's time to test out the new doors and mirrors!

They worked perfectly! We stayed warm on thus absolutely beautiful day!

When a problem arises do you allow your wisdom to work in the background by putting it on the back-burner?

Do you push through when a problem comes into your life instead?

Do you have a trusted person to bounce ideas off of when the going gets rough?



Manifest a magical day!
