Perry dropped off the laser level range rod
first thing in the morning.  The good
news: my eye for flat is pretty darn good. 
The bad news: the barn-build site was consistently 5″ higher than what I
want.  So spent the entire afternoon
scraping the site down and then re-digging the footer trenches.  So by close of business I was right back to
where I left off yesterday, just 5″ lower. 
Of course, this being the rock capital of the world, I dug up several
bucket-loads of nuggets.  Those were
piled up on the north side of the house where yet another stone wall needs
building.
