Moved the third and fourth in-ground posts for the walkway section between landings #6 and #7 back four feet, which solved the big rock and tap root problems encountered two days ago. Still very rocky digging conditions… and I found the pictured unusual object while digging the second hole. Obviously iron-age man has been here before! Mosquitoes thick in the morning but then a nice breeze blew them away. Put the stringers on the first two sets of posts, then the railing posts and longitudinals. Installed the next light. Marty & Merry invited me down for a spaghetti dinner… delicious as always and the company even better.
