Amazing what you can get done when the phone is NOT ringing off the hook with inquiries about the Ranger being for sale. Not, mind you, that I wouldn’t have appreciated at least one or two calls, but thus far, zilch. Very cold and blustery all day, almost like late fall. Consequently, zero flying insects! Had to put on the winter jacket (over tee shirt, long-sleeve running shirt, and sweatshirt) after lunch. And a good thing, too, as it started to hail soon thereafter. Put the deck boards on the first 12 feet of this section, then dug holes for and inserted the next four in-ground posts. Installed the stringers and railing posts, longitudinals, the light, and electrical wiring for the next 16 feet of walkway. Think I may have set a speed record today in digging the hole for one of the in-ground posts: removed one large rock plus a little bit of dirt and, voilá, hole done… in less than 5 minutes.
