Installed the new tarp on the shed deck to protect everything underneath until the woodshed gets built next summer. Started raining again just as I finished… perfect timing! Then started laying the fourth course of between-column rocks, staying nice and dry under the waterproof covering. Got 10 of the 16 sections done… had the “eye” for fitting stone today. Lynne called mid-afternoon to invite me over to their place for another fabulous dinner. She lent me her copy of Eclipse. Stayed up ‘till the wee hours trying desperately to put it down.
