Rain. Rain. Stay away.

Ok, so the rain was yesterday and last night, which slowed things down a whole bunch. Not just by cutting into work time, but also by turning the work site into a freakin' mudhole!
I broke down and bought a load of screened gravel from a local quarry to make cement (what a difference!) and ended up wasting 3 hours trying to get the stupid dump truck unstuck.
Once again my neighbour to the rescue with his trusty/rusty bulldozer (nicknamed Dozey because one light on the front is out and it looks like it's falling asleep).















Even with Dozey on the job, they needed a little extra help from Johnny.

Here's a question.
How many horsepower does it take to make 2 Deere power?


At least once the truck was gone things moved along a lot faster. I guess for now I'll have to use the gravel in the pit strictly as infill, until I can figure a way to screen out the clay/excess sand. For now though, 12 post are up, and if I can keep this pace (pray for no rain) I might have all 24 and the floor poured before I go back to Halifax on Sunday.
