hard work

here are some updates from last time. My mortar HAD gotten wet, so I lost some, but then I ended up finding a better tarp and I've been doing good since. It's been a lot of work. You can see in the first two pictures where I am right now. I'm trying desperately to finish before I leave on a trip this thursday.

All of the stones carly and I have found ourselves, locally. I haven't spent a dime on them other than gas to move the truck around, but that's so little compared to how much this would have cost to buy stones.

Nervous

So yesterday I covered the bags of mortar that I bought with a tarp. On a platform near the site with two tarps.

It's downpouring, for hours, and there are huge puddles of water everywhere and water RUNNING off the property.

I might have lost all this mortar and I feel like a total idiot for not hiding it in the garage..
ugh.
