 Nate showed up at 9 with another load of A-stone, needed to fill the trench Tammy dug yesterday.  Tammy and Roy arrived just before 9:30 to start the rebuilding of the wall along the north side of our property.  We got 36 feet done before Miller time.  For the most part, we just took off the top layer or two of rocks and then built up from the remaining base.  However, in one spot the base was not set quite right and we had to pull everything out of the way and start again from ground level.  It’s a good thing Tammy is so skilled a backhoe operator, as those base rocks (that Jim set so easily with his monster excavator) weren’t small!  However, let’s also say that it’s a good thing that (1) there are a lot of trees between that wall and Marty & Merry’s house (to stop rolling rocks from ending up in their bedroom) and (2) I am quite experienced with snagging errant rocks with a logging chain.
