The 6th and 7th steps and Moving In The Bench

At yesterday's work session, I installed the 7th log step and repaired the 6th. The installation of the 7th step was different from the installation of the other steps. It was not filled with concrete this time as it was too close to the step behind it. Digging a trench for the concrete may have damaged the step behind that one. I could not have installed the step down further, because too many rocks and roots would have been in the way of the re-bar. Instead, this step was packed with dirt. It has proven to make a sturdy enough step. The sixth step needed to be repaired. When we first started installing it, we ran out of concrete. Hence, it was only half-filled and began cracking over the next week. We finished filling it with concrete today and now it should not crack. We also transported the bench that I helped construct a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Aspinwall helped me by tying it down to his pick-up truck and driving it there. I plan to have a wooden plaque attached to the bench, acknowledging the supporters of this project and memorializing Scoutmasters of Troop 28 who have passed away in recent years.
