The last board (I think) is up on the lean-to project. I had one section of pieced together cattle panel & T-posts that the former owner had up & I decided to leave it. The last board was one to run along the top of the cattle panel to give me a solid edge & steady it up. I had 8 ft. boards (96”) & needed 104”. Hmmmm. After one false start (plan not working), I came up with a much better one that did work.

Mowers are moved & gas cans. Tomorrow is the heavy stuff: bags of gravel, sand, pack of shingles, 45 fire bricks, slabs of slate & some pavers. I have a pallet for most of it to sit on. Once I get it moved, I’ll post some before, between & after pics.

I will be ready to ‘celebrate’ on the 4th. I might try my hand at Omaha steak burgers on the 2nd hand grill I bought from a cousin & cleaned up :-)

Lean-to project pics (red trailer & sawhorses are mine):

The only thing left to do is put gravel down in front of support columns where it's now muddy. I hate the thought of shoveling (heavy!) gravel, but it will be worth it when it's done.
