So when I showed up to get started on my current project, this was what awaited me--less than encouraging. So I set out to shovel, build a fire, then shovel some more in an effort to streamline the process for this weekend (yes I am working all weekend; thats how desperate we are for some warmer weather).
One of my tools of the trade has become a blowtorch. In summer I use it for weed control, but I have found it useful for melting ice, starting fires, and heating water. Here I am melting ice off a step shortly after I almost ate you know what carrying a full bucket of stone chips down the steps.
Basically today was a day to prepare for the weekend, and part of that was to lay out and cut stones for the front steps. Also shown is Layla, Living Stone's official mascot.
This might look like a pile of sand to you, but it looks like potential to me. Making sure we have the proper materials and right amounts on hand is a big part of my job.
