Michelle, Joe and Joan Get 'Er Done

 
Here was the well pit when I gave up. There were pieces so large, and still not rotten that I could not get them off alone.



So, today Joe and Michelle came over. We got all the old stuff off. Yes, I used my new crowbar.



Then built a framing box. Some of the old wood was still good.



We added cross pieces to support the plywood I bought the other day. Yes, that's my shadow. I thought a shadow was so remarkable that I left it in the picture on purpose!



Finally, we laid the plywood and foam over the frame and covered it with a tarp. This is very temporary, until the pump guys come do their magic.



I also went and picked up some bales of hay from another friend, so I can add more insulation over the foam and under the tarp when the below-ground work is done. No picture of that. But that project also involved completely emptying the car so I could get the hay in, and then cleaning it out afterwards and putting everything back.

In other news: I drew up two concept covers for The Hitchhiker so my cover artist can start work. Now I'm trying to finish chapter 3. But I'm falling asleep. I didn't get to sleep in this morning.
