This was a weekend of toil. Ironically, just when I get a big block of time to spend on refurbishing the Stoneworks, the weather turns on me. We've had a wonderfully cool summer so far, but this weekend featured highs in the nineties and temperature/humidity index of 103˚-104˚. So, it was uncomfortable, but it motivated me to add the Shade Sail I've had sitting around for a few years, making the heat a bit more bearable. The beginnings of the under structure of the deck are shown in the photo and I'm having to chop out some surface roots of the maple tree in order to get everything on the same level. Yeah, it's nasty, hot work, but I'm really motivated now and will probably return to my miniature hell tomorrow.
