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.

I've got one of these but never knew the name of it but knew it was for concrete. Evidently it's called a concrete placer. About 20" wide.

It's in the back of the truck right now because I used it to scrape the rocks off the concrete bridge that the grader left behind. Big sharp rocks sitting on concrete will push right through a tire and the hole is too big to plug and sometimes too big to patch. I'm not the only one here that ruined a new tire from a chunk of gravel puncturing it.

Anyway, good for scraping rocks out of the back of a truck/trailer. Not real fast but there's no lifting aside from the weight of the scraper/placer and they're light.

Very tidy! :)

We had about 1/2” of rain overnight, so mowing is either later today or...whenever. More rain coming tomorrow. Those poor Holiday Campers, LOL! (Glad THAT part of my life is over!)

We’re just doing chores, today. Beau has tons to do to get ready to go up to Bear Camp. Having standard ‘grill fare’ for supper on the 4th. Making that Tortellini Pasta Salad, though. Looking forward to that. :)
