THE PLAN

The Bloke with the Boulders

 

Here is the Bloke with the blocks, finishing the new footings of the Rapunzel Tower. The weather is cooperating and in the 60's during the day, a great temperature for outdoor toad work.

And here is the spooky Bloke levitating a boulder, we wonder what will become of the other boulders that have come out of the rubble foundation. Have you any ideas?

Would you like to see the plan?

Footings, footings, and more footings

This morning the south-west footings, those for the front office and studio were poured. In the afternoon Toad began the arduous task of removing the  rubble from under the original building on the south side and replacing it with block. Some of the rocks used in the original foundation are too large to lift.

The little woods is blanketed with oak and maple leaves. Peeking out from the leaves are some little hemlocks transplanted from Phyllis Stevenson's land and the pines, spruce, and cedar from our land.

A New Bloke on the Block

Really!--Jesse is helping Tony with the block laying, but we have no picture to post. Jesse is quite busy with other work but promises to come back and help. Jesse's presence is a gift and Bufo loves presents!

Imagine, if you will, how far two blokes can block blocks in one day!

The north-west footings are finished. This morning Toad starts the north-east footings.
