| We are making a fieldstone pavilion with fireplace, similar to what you might find in a state park...Here is the site with just a couple of small trees and bushes removed. It was originally marked off without tools, using what surveyors and architects call "the dragging of the heel" technique. There was actually a small ring of rocks that looked like a fire pit had already been there... we'll just be making some slight improvements. |

After the space was cleared, MK dug a channel for a frost-wall/foundation type of thing with the back hoe. |
 |
 |
Then I dug out 4x4' holes at each corner where there will be tapered columns 8' high and about 2x2' at the top. They'll support the roof. |
 |
 |
For those of you keeping score at home, the hut is 15' deep and tapered like a speaker cone: 18' in the front and around 13' in the back. |
 |
| So people have been asking me what I did on my summer vacation...Here is a good part of it: Cutting trees, moving rocks (mostly moving rocks), moving sand, mixing cement and now even measuring. After abandoning the "tiki bar"concept, I've started filling in the hole with rocks and cement. |
