August 8

I got a lot done on the patio today, but the biggest thing I revealed is that everything I did on the first day is a mess. It’s crooked, it’s not level… I will have to spend another day fixing that, but at least all the newer work is good. I learned that this part is about precision, not speed. It took me forever to get this section level, and then it was too low, so I had to do it all over again. I ended up finishing a mere ten minutes before I had to take Robin to tumbling. I had to take a sink bath and scramble to change, but we made it and I was mostly presentable. I’m about halfway done and getting excited because the end is in sight. Even though we won’t have all the furniture and decor, I’m excited to see how it looks and to use it for the first time. I’m very proud of it. So much work. But look what I am doing!
