Michael, the wonderful man who cuts our hair, asked us if we could help him make a horseshoe tree. We, of course, said, “Sure!”
He sent us a text with a picture showing the tree he wanted us to make. We got the horseshoes from him today when we went in for my husband’s haircut.
For some reason, even though the picture was on my phone, we were unable to get it off the phone onto the computer so we could print one large enough to see the details. I went on the net and found a picture and printed it. (above)
We came home and got to work. The horseshoes didn’t fit as well as we would like, so we modified some of them to emulate the picture as much as possible. We got most of the tree welded together, noticing we were 3 horseshoes short. We got the tree made, but only had one horseshoe of the 4 needed for the base.
When I got on my phone to text Michael, I saw the pic he sent again. It was this one –
Gulp. We were short because we made the wrong one. :0(
Michael was really nice, saying he’ll have the extra group of horseshoes at the salon when I go for MY haircut tomorrow.
My husband is embarrassed because he couldn’t get the pic off my phone. I’M embarrassed because I didn’t pay enough attention to detail. It’s a really good thing Michael is understanding.
Hopefully, we can finish the tree tomorrow and take it to him at work this week.
