An absolutely perfect day weather-wise… and NO bugs!  After yesterday’s work with the rebar cutter / bender, weren’t movin’ nearly so fast as usual come daybreak.  Much worse after spending the morning hand digging the sauna building footer trenches to their proper depth.  Only hit, and had to dig out, seven, yes seven, 100 pound plus boulders.  After lunch, cut a bunch of 2x6’s salvaged from the old stairway (that ran from the Glassner’s place down to the waterfront) to the lengths needed for the sauna building footer forms.  Stopped work early in order to prepare Dolores, food, and me for having the Lapidii come for the first barbeque of the season.  Another delightful repast with our good neighbors to the north.  Enough liquid painkillers were ingested to at least dull most of the aches and pains resulting from this “relaxing” weekend.
