Laid and cemented 4½ cubic feet of rock in three sections of the between-columns rock walls. Note that yesterday I didn’t specify the year that I expect to be done, just that it will be on Christmas.  Found another Vermont-shaped stone in the pile so placed it in a prominent spot.  The rock pile has, once again, reached that state of depletion where finding stones of the right size is extremely problematic.  Case in point: for the first section I’m going to work on tomorrow I need stones 3½ inches thick in order to “hit the mark”.  Don’t got.  So do I go on a search and destroy mission or miss the mark?  News at 11.
