Progress on the shed


Today, Mini-Mix poured concrete for the steel supports that will be holding up the structure of our shed. We've had a massive truck bringing in loads of rock gravel for the foundation and surrounding driveway. Apparently, they changed their minds about the gravel under the concrete platform. They were going to skip it but now they are adding it in. I can't wait for this to be completed. Apparently, they lay the concrete slab last after the shed is all built, presumably so the heavy equipment doesn't damage the cement. It's a moving target, methinks.

Meanwhile, Ghostie for some reason loves rolling on the gravel and has turned completely filthy gray. No longer a ghost, she now resembles a shadow. 

My Irish gate is now ready to use, and I had the privilege of being the first to pass through. It's a fine gate. Curiously, the Rondo is way ahead of all the vines in leafing this year. I don't remember that happening in years past. And Alex has finished installing all the overhead wires, so the vineyard is now pretty much complete. I nixed adding more vines or more fruit trees. No more work, thank you very much!
