Dear Family and Friends,
Plumbing and Heating started this week, as well as siding on the outside. Some of the sassier pictures of ductwork and venting are for Brian Lindsay's benefit, because of B.T.Lindsay HVAC fame.
The trim on the house is 2" rough cedar- it is very nice. The siding is Hardie-plank, which is a concrete product. The bees and insects will be very disappointed.
The wall continues to grow.
All you math lovers, forget the problem about two trains traveling in different directions. Try this one- how much does a 6 ton rock wall weigh? I am slowly learning the answer. When they deliver it, it weighs 6 tons. Then you move it into piles by size- now it weighs 12 tons. Then you place it in the wall- now it weighs 18 tons. Then you change your mind- now it weighs 20 tons.
This job gives me new respect for New England walls, Irish walls, and Stonehenge.
Take care.
Love,
Emmett and Marsha

Wowie! Things really ARE moving along. NOw, if your wife can lift heavy objects as well, that will cut the weight differential in half! See? That's all it takes to make your life easier!
Whoa! Peg here.... Havinga wife who can lift heavy objects will still make those damn rocks wieght 12 thousand tons! We're good, but not THAT good!
