Well, over the weekend I finally was able to get back to work on my outdoor studio renovation. The trap rock (crushed gray granite of, in this case, 1" or less) proved to be a minor nightmare to move, so I blasted a lot of it out of the way with a power washer, and moved the remainder with a rake, shovel and wheelbarrow. I've now got an area of about 150 sq. ft. where I'll build the wood deck. Then the shed can be dismantled, moved and reassembled. Groan. I'm a long way from being able to actually carve some stone. I hope it can happen well before the snow arrives in the fall.
