Dug three of the four footer trenches for the barn, scraped the center of the footprint down a few inches, and leveled off the area.  All done by eye... and looks pretty darn flat to me.  Perry came by after work with his laser level and gave me a quick operating lesson.  He forgot to bring the range rod that goes with the laser level, so it’ll be a day before we can accurately judge just how good is my “eye”.  Any side bets?  Chree, sweetheart that she is (she seriously dislikes shopping for hardware), visited just about every lumber yard and hardware store in a 15 mile radius and finally found the special 3″star-drive deck screws needed to finish the wood walkway.
