Rain never stops the show

Today was unsettled weather with waves of showers coming through and even some thunder claps.  The chief cook and her dog spent a great deal of the day in the RV making cookies and muffins while the work crew worked.  Much of what was done today was in final preparation for putting on the sheeting and in preparation for the truck coming tomorrow morning.  Things were straightened, shortened and made right. A platform was built to hold the sheets for the roof - one less move.

After looking at the roof lines, it was determined that the west deck with the timberframe will have to be built sooner than later.  The foundation for the posts will go in tomorrow if possible.  Len used the backhoe to dig holes for the 3 posts.  Just as he started to dig things out manually, it started to pour rain.  Well it is 6:45 anyway, so time to quit for the day.  Tomorrow might be rainy - hope not.

Digging on the side hill is a bit tricky

But Len being Len, here he is out in the driving rain.  This picture is a bit fuzzy as it was taken through the rain-streaked RV window.  (Someone has to stay in and keep the dog company.)

At least he came and put on his rain coat.
