The 4th, 5th and 6th Steps

Today's part of the project was arguably the most productive thus far. Two steps were installed today, and one was installed yesterday. Our last attempt at installing a log step was damaged almost immediately after it was secured to the ground by re-bar. This weekend I decided to suffice with concrete for the two failed steps and the one new step. As before, the space behind the 6x6's would be filled with rocks. However this time, we covered that with concrete. On our last work session, rocks below the locations of the steps caused difficulties. We were unable to properly secure the steps with re-bar. Thus we cut the pieces of re-bar in half, and they fit in perfectly. My dad also purchased a handheld pickax, which allowed us to break through rocks that were in the way of the re-bar. It also allowed us to improvise by taking the rocks that we broke out and using them for the step itself. See the pictures attached.
