The weather has just been gorgeous - there hasn't even been a hint of a cloud in the sky and the temperatures are wonderful. So it was fun to head outside again. Jim started filling in the dirt around the back left post...
After making sure everything was still level and plumb, we started filling in the front post. Now all four corner post holes are filled in and stable...
Jim brought over the first middle post to see how it would fit. This is the hole where the giant rock is right at the bottom, which caused issues digging and now issues placing the post.
But Jim got it in a good spot...
Attaching string along the other side for placement reference...
Jim had to do a little bit of crumbing on the side of this hole...
Putting the post in the hole...
Jim is going to use this 2x4" in between the two middle posts to keep everything stable and square, so he brought that over to place...
Tweaking the post position...
Everything is in great alignment so we were able to start filling the middle holes...
All the holes filled in and boards are all in their temporary locations...
So then it was time to start doing some laser leveling. Jim needs to figure out where he wants the skirts to be located so that he has the right amount of gravel and concrete. Attaching the level bracket to the side...
Level in place...
Then we started transferring the level reference points to the boards. After all the locations were marked, Jim transferred them to the posts.
By this point, it was time to get all the tools and equipment put away and come in to get ready for church.
