Our Summer Project: Part 2
A couple of weeks ago we were making very good progress, and actually finished one section of the stone on the garage.
It didn't seem possible, as this small area stretched over weeks to complete. And what we found out quickly is the amount of mortar we mixed to use took a disproportionate amount of time to use up. So, one full bag of mortar took us all day to use up, whereas a half bag of mortar only took 2-3 hours to use up. Here's a photo of our messy work site, as we try to figure out which stones go where:
And here's a photo as I put in the final stone for this section. Notice I'm sitting in "the captain's chair." (That's what I've nicknamed this bar stool we got from a neighbor who was throwing it away. I thought it was fun to take a break and sit in the chair while I pondered the layout of stone we were working on! The bar stool also has the benefit of 360 degree rotation, so it's fun to spin around and get dizzy on. :)
