School Work

Cold and rainy weather has kept us inside. Linda received a call from the Assistant Principal at Cumberland County Elementary and she asked us to come to the school and assemble some carts for them. So we went to Subway for lunch and then stopped at the school. Carolynn was in the lunch room and we went there to find out where the carts were and where we should assemble them. She told us and we headed there and started work. There were six carts they wanted put together. I opened the first one and looked at the instructions for a couple of minutes. They were going to be easy, because the only tool needed was a flat blade screwdriver. I shoved the four legs onto the top, turned it upside down and added another shelf, then four more legs and the bottom shelf. I popped in the wheels, and routed the cord for the power strip, screwed the plate on that held the strip and Linda added the warning decal. Stacey was opening the next package as we finished. We worked like that for about an hour, and all six carts were done. Carolynn said we were fast and we could put the projectors on the carts too, if we had time. So we opened the six boxes the projectors were in and plugged the cords into the power strips on the cart, hooked in the monitor cables and laid the carrying pack on the bottom of the carts. We were finished. The school was having a fire drill, so we couldn't leave for a few minutes because the children were outside and we didn't want to drive off with all the kids around. So we decided to try one of the projectors. I hooked it to a PC setting there with the monitor already on. It was just hooking up the monitor cable for the projector and turning it on. The projector displayed the image on the wall that was normally on the monitor. It looked great, and I told Carolynn that she could also use them with VCRs or DVD players to show movies too. After the fire drill was over, we un-hooked the projector and headed on home.
