No April Fool's joke--the day dawned sunny and windy! The main task for today was to cut the tubes so they were all level with each other. While not nearly as physically demanding as yesterday, the work was very exacting because we wanted the leveling to be as precise as yesterday's straight, square and plumb measurements. The laser level came in quite handy for the purpose. We (mostly my brother Paul and his son Evan, aided by their foster children Munif and Mohammed) also laid out and built a form for the landing for one set of steps, to be used if there was surplus concrete tomorrow. Here are pictures of Sunday's efforts. You can see a) it was a MUCH nicer day and b) the process took much consultation and head scratching. But, we got everything done that needed to be done for the next day, when the concrete was scheduled to arrive.
