Late start on the concrete form today, because it rained again. Quite a bit, actually, in the early afternoon. Eventually, we ran over to Home Depot to get some more wood for the remaining sides of the form. As soon as we got back home we started working on the back side of the form. One of the boards that looked pretty straight in the store was actually giving us quite a bit of trouble -- too much bowing and twisting. We worked until it was dark, and then K brought a work light outside so we could keep going.

It was actually kind of fun once I got a sweatshirt on to keep warm. We had the radio on, lots of good tunes, and I was dancing around whenever I needed to warm up. K was determined to get that side done tonight, and we did it! Eventually got things all straight and square. Should make the other two sides easier to complete.
So... one side of the form per week, so far. Plus leveling some of the dirt and adding the gravel and rock after that... Means we'll be ready to pour the concrete in, like, November?
