Alverta and I drove down to Fern Lake to retrieve the van and secure the site for a further week’s absence. Did a short canoe, picnicked on the dock (beautiful sunshine, perfect temperature, NO bugs), installed 12v solar-powered lights along the path, and emptied all the rocks out of the pickup. The resulting pile is impressive, but definitely far short of what will be needed to complete the shed between-column walls. After Alverta headed back north, mixed up a batch of mortar and parged three more sections of the second course. Then, after a quick dip in the lake, headed for South Burlington (via Kingsley’s Farm Stand) in the van.
