Took Delores up to Kampersville for her bi-monthly $15 constitutional. On the way, with the whole road to myself, drifted right and got 4 inches too close to a dirt bank, discovering the expensive way that the main cabin door steps make a lousy plow. Careless, careless, careless!!!! Returned to Fern Lake with plentiful posterior bruises. Did a few more minor repair jobs, then went back to work disassembling concrete form bracing. Have only found one place (so far) where concrete form “A” has to be removed before concrete form “B”, which can’t be removed until concrete form “A” is removed. That’s why they make saws and crowbars… Removed all the east (shady) side bracing, all the ½″ plywood scaffolding we used to access the walls, plus the top-most braces on the south and west sides, before the siren call of the lake became simply overwhelming. The lake level now is officially below the level of the dock.
