The weekend project was rebuilding a stone wall that had collapsed last year. It seems to have gained a lot of weight since I originally put it up years ago. The two day project should only take a week. It is less than three feet high and about twenty feet long but I only need to work on half of it. We joke (shame on us) that Louise “Trump” is instigator of the repair project. That left me paying the price of installation. Then we decided it wasn’t that funny. We did continue with working but didn’t finish. I will try this week.

Have a good week.
