Packing

It takes awhile to get all loaded up, and I live in terror I will arrive having left something important 400 miles due south. Darn near forgot my rotary hammer and that would have been very, very bad. Hoping snow does not stop me (note the one non-Virginia tool in the pile), and likely staying in Lowville this time at the invitation of Tim Buckingham, or TimBuck2 as Gerry says. Do list this time might be:

1) Drill holes in rock (with rotary hammer) for batter boards
2) Set Batter boards and cross pieces
3) Set string and layout foundation - square it up
4) Use pressure washer to clear dirt from area of 24" diameter foundation piers.
5) Measure spot for each pier per structural plans
6) Use drill and chisels to level rock in area of each pier per structural plan (max slope of 3 in 12).

Might see if I can pick up my green lumber from the O'Brien sawmill made from our trees. Needs to be stacked up and covered with a tarp. And there is always more clearing to do, this time down towards the lake.
