Thanks for the feedback, Tom…

I’m afraid that after some consistent work with those stones under that sun, the only one “whupped” was me. I started out with Jeffers and his mason in my sights… and now I sit here feeling a lot more like Barney Rubble.

As for gathering no moss… in the face of my desperate escape to Europe tonight, it’s safe to say that regarding the stonework, I’m pleased that we’ll be gathering no más…

At least until next time, anyway.

Dear Monte: Rarely have I had the pleasure of beholding the sort of love betwixt stones that was to be observed in that magnificent foundation that was laid, or better, that you’all have whupped into shape @ the Red Rhino orphanage project ! Right SMART!! And assembling of the blog from your own formidable pile of hardcore and murram, the daunting task of rocking the house in place of the great muzungu poet laureate was forever cemented in place,with the words lovin’ on each other like the stones! . Very nice job, guys! Gather no moss!

Hi Jeff,

There is a lot here that requires a sense of humor, so it’s good to keep it handy. I’d be happy to speak to your Rotary club anytime. You can introduce me as your cousin from Africa. I’ll be sure to make up a lot of good stuff to say about you.

Love to Sue and Hailley and Uncle JIm,

David

David, enjoying many of your stories about the construction, and love your sense of humor. I am wondering if you would be willing to speak to our North Stockton Rotary group in August or September or the next time you are in town. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Hi John,

Good to hear from you. The hardcore (rocks) and murram (a certain kind of rocky soil), will, in layers, fill up the entire excavation cavity. The house will be built on cement pillars on top of it. It will be entirely above ground.

Give my love to the Thursday morning guys,

David
