Again we are taking apart things we have already done because they were not in the right place.  I'm sure about a week of this build has been fixing things that have F&&^%$#ed up.
I am still lobbing for a work plan for every day that has been thought out the night before.  Also wearing the lovely tool belts so we don't have to scamper up and down ladders for those screws and wire ties and wire and and and.
It has been a month since the dig started and we are still not out of the ground.  We have at least three or four more days before we are ready for the big concrete pour.
We are trying to be good people in the community but that may have to change since Drew who is back filling has a small dump truck so four trucks full of rock did not fill the front of the garage.  We may need someone with more capacity then we can get him to level it.
Our friend Sooz next door has become our county music instructor.  She has brought us over more cd's with local people like the Frere Brothers who play at the Barley Room pub a lot.  We really liked them so we will go see them soon.  Also Lenni Stewart who has toured with Mickey Rooney, why?.  I love that we are the students to Sooz , who has a brain tumour,  and we have become her project.
I am trying to think of something to do for her that does not involve music since she likes teaching us.
Think about the good things and let the annoyances go, I must make that my morning chant.
Taking down the braces

Steel for the part of the wall that continues.

Now you see it.

Trying to get rid of old concrete and level the drive.

This is four trucks of stone.

That is all the NuDura that is left.  I am excited about the next delivery.

Lumber for our scaffolding and the machine ready for Monday.   The store was smart and said no problem we'll deliver lumber and start a charge account for you.  Smart because we now have to go into the store to pay the bill and we will probably buy something else.
