| Wild strawberries |
 |
| One reason we have a 4WD pickup |
 |
| Another - more rebar to cut - Oh joy ! |
 |
| Airborne |
 |
| What you need to do to bend #5 rebar when you only weight 45 kg [100 lbs] |
 |
| Pretending to work |
 |
| The late June deluge on its way - Oh joy [NOT!] |
 |
| Cleaning rocks for the rock drain behind the house |
 |
| Clean rocks |
 |
| Picking up rocks |
 |
| Cleaning scrap styrofoam for recycling as "rock" |
 |
| Styrofoam recycled as "rock" between the back basement wall and the false wall keeping out the dirt [soil, clay] |
 |
| Yet more rock, goes onto the styrofoam, a layer cake |
 |
| The cut for the concrete water tank going under the porch |
 |
| Stabilizing another cut using the wild strawberries |
 |
| The wild strawberries are sending out runners right now. |
 |
| Moving rock to the hole in the front porch to pour it into place |
 |
| Like a duck swimming - all the real work going on underneath spreading the rock |
 |
| Cheating - using the digger to fill my wheelbarrow |
 |
| Not cheating, at the other end filling buckets manually for placement above the styrofoam and the ventilation pipes |
 |
| More rock - for the road and underneath the water tank slab |
 |
| Precarious - getting the rock down there now the cut has been made. |
 |
| Backfilling soil under the front porch |
 |
| End of the day |
