The forecast for this week-end was supposed to be hot and humid so we decided we'd get an early start today. Mike (hubby) is finally finished with the overtime at Kirkwood so we would have three able bodies to work on the wall. We started around 7:30 am and the weather was beautiful- low 70s, some wind, and mostly overcast. We were making great strides on the wall when the rain started! It was a teaser at first so we continued working. It was around 9:00 am and we had the East wall done, and we were starting on the South wall when the down pour came! We grabbed what couldn't get wet and dashed for the garage. We hunkered down for about a half an hour hoping it would stop and it didn't. We decided to call it good for the day and if it stop raining and dry off hubby and I would get the first row of the South wall done. Mike left and the rain continue on....then around 1:30 the sun came out and hubby went down with the shop vac to vac up the water. While he was doing this I was trimming the trails in the woods. All of a sudden it starts raining again! I continued on with what I was doing but Mike had to pack it up again. When I finished trimming the sun had come out again and it was starting to get hot like the forecast had said. We decided to take a chance and lay the one row on the South side so we could have a better start for tomorrow- we successfully laid the low! Even with the humidity rising as we were working the breeze and the shade of the tree kept us from overheating.
Hopefully tomorrow we can finish the wall!!!!!
