Back at the honest work.

I got a slow start to the morning as we all slept in a bit and I had several things to pack up. Then the goodbyes took a while as Matt and Krystal left at the same time as I did. My first stop was Cedar Direct in Chapel Hill, where I picked up three smaller bundles of my tongue and groove pine. Fortunately I was able to unload them with my tractor at the job site. I also finished assembling my cement mixer and had my 6×6 porch posts delivered. Also a guy came out to look at doing some grading under the porches. Once he left I drove down to Hillsboro and picked up five IBC totes. I filled one halfway with water at the cottage and then took them all to the job site. I returned to the cottage during the heat of the day to do a little computer work and then returned to the houses to start pouring concrete. My new mixer did really well, although it was still a lot of work. Also I got filthy. But I finished a little before eight and then went to Piggly Wiggly for some food. I have been reading a book on my phone and trying to unwind.
