We took Sunday off and got back to work on Monday.
Check out the first six posts here, here, here, here, here, and here.
See where this whole project is heading here.
In a sick plot twist, I pulled a muscle in my back pretty bad on Monday, so I’m out of commission, and this is really a two person job. I’m hoping that I’ll be well enough on Friday or Saturday for us to wrap this up. So close to the end – I can’t stand it!

There was just too much plant material and construction debris to pick out.
We decided that we’d run the Tacoma to the dump for 5 or 6 loads at $44 bucks/load.
Armand set up a runway for the wheelbarrow.
Here’s a better look at the 3rd and 4th patios and the stem wall that we found:
