Finished (sort of) the wood walkway.  The reason for the “sort of” is that, while there now is a continuous wood walking surface from the patio to the dock, 300 feet of walkway deck boards have shrunk to the point that the 1″ gap between adjacent boards is painful to walk on with bare feet.  Those gaps, originally ½″, all need to be tightened up to ³/₁₆″… a project for another day.  Had a few extra minutes after the walkway was done, so quickly built a retaining wall on the west side of the lower “driveway” immediately south of the section of walkway just completed.  Amazingly (yeah, right!) only had to import one rock to make that wall, all the other stones were just lying right there in the woods.
