It has been a day for collecting. Jim ordered the limestone for around the doors, windows, and quoins. We were able to enlist Chad with his pickup and my brother lent me his to use. It took us three trips this morning to transport fifteen thousand pounds. The quarry loaded us and we unloaded the trucks by hand. Chad and I lifted fifteen thousand pounds in one morning! In the afternoon, after Jim cooked a wonderful lunch, I took a short nap while Chad went to his real job. We saw an ad in the paper for used block and picked up about fifty for ten dollars. It has been a heavy day of lifting, hauling, and collecting. A little rest and it will be back to building the walls on the house. Sam
