Quick run into Brandon right after breakfast for victuals and lag bolts.  Then finished making sawdust all the pieces for the sauna woodshed framework. Spent the rest of the morning carving rock with my dying Skilsaw and the ever-useful diamond tipped blade.  Needed to create a massive contusion on my left thumb while chipping rock with a cold chisel level spots for the two front posts to sit on and a trench for the 2x4 to sit in that will tie those posts together at the bottom.  After lunch, started putting the woodshed framework together, discovering in the process that, while I got sixteen 3″ and twenty-eight 3½″ lag bolts at the hardware store this morning, what I really needed were sixteen 3½″ and thirty-six 3″ lag bolts… and some adult supervision.  Marty and Merry came up for the Wizard’s Stew created yesterday… and seemed nonplussed by the eye of newt ingredients.  Spent a delightful evening with them catching up on a winter’s worth of news.
