We jumped feet first into the latest project, that of building a stage from log rounds. It's easier to explain in pictures, so...
 |
| We dug a ginormous hole and filled it with pea gravel (fortunately we had a lot of that!) |
 |
| 2 X 12 boards served as the frame for the stage |
 |
| Getting the frame level and straight was a real time-consumer. Thanks Jeremy and Richard for your help! |
 |
| Leveling logs until late at night |
 |
| Ready for concrete! |
 |
| Rowan was most patient as his mom was 100% occupied with stage building |
 |
| Can I stand on the big stump NOW? |
 |
| Beautiful! |
 |
| Mixing concrete, no small task, no easy task, each bag weighs 80 pounds! |
 |
| And each log was carefully surrounded by the concrete and packed tight. |
 |
| 13 bags of concrete = 1,040 lbs. carried and mixed by hand! |
 |
| Is this ever going to be done? |
