There are just so many things that i can't do well ...... because i am too dang short. i guess things could be worse....i could be 4'10" instead of 5'2".
We have a refrigerator in the barn (with a freezer section on the top). there is a tree stand on top of that (don't even ask...it's a guy thing).
A couple weeks ago hubby asked me to get him his tie-downs for the trailer....they were in the barn....on top of the frig....on top of the tree stand. well...guess who couldn't reach that. so, i pulled the tree stand a bit forward and tilted it so the tie-downs that were on the top would slide off. then i tried to push the tree stand back....but couldn't....it was too heavy....and a bit too high.
So...i take him the tie-downs and go on about my business.
A few days ago he says he went into the barn and opened that frig for something or another and got a nose full of god-awful stink. yep, when i pulled the tree stand forward....it opened the freezer door a bit. i didn't notice and it stayed open for a couple weeks.
I am so glad that freezer wasn't packed full. as it was....we lost 3 packages of ground deer meat, 3 packages of beef stew meat and a ham bone. not too bad but that was at least 7 meals. but hubby cleaned everything all up and didn't even gripe about it. i wouldn't have known anything about it at all except he told me what happened this morning.
If i was taller......it never would have happened.

Of course Shirley didn't say why we needed the straps. We were heading into town to the antique shop where she found some old barn wood furniture she really needed. Had to use the straps to strap the furniture onto the trailer
