Jeff Many from Green Mountain Door came by early afternoon (and less than two hours after I called him) to discuss options and pricing for the garage door needed for the north end of the shed lower level. Chree and I spent the day sweating bullets taking apart the rest of the wall reinforcing forms and bracing. The first concrete form I put on (bottom section on the south wall) was the hardest to remove due to perpetual landslide action from the south bank. By the time I got to that section it was in full afternoon sunlight… just brutal working conditions. Five minutes after that section came off Chree was taking a cold shower and I was in the lake. It was so hot that Shlomo made several unauthorized trips to the lake throughout the day to cool off… and we didn’t care. Geisha, on the other hand, is limping badly, probably from spraining one of her joints while chasing Shlomo through the woods, so she stayed close by when not snoozing in the RV.
