Only worked a half day today: 7 to 7.  Josh and I continued building, installing, and bracing forms for the auxiliary storage area walls, then installed the rebar that we cut and bent yesterday.  Also dug, formed, and installed the rebar for the concrete threshold needed to properly seat a garage door in the north (open) end of the shed lower level.  Once Josh departed for his real job late afternoon, spent a frustrating half hour trying to get hold of Carrara Concrete, whose phone answering message assured me that they were open for business… but try as I might, I could get no human on the line.  So now I can spend all weekend wondering whether all the people and equipment I have arranged for Monday morning will have any concrete to pour. Thoroughly irked, installed the third and fourth courses of rebar in the shed roof form, completing that job.  In keeping with the general ambiance of the moment, had rancid chicken and curdled milk for dinner.
