3rd flight

Went out for a quick job tonight. We dug two post holes and concreted them in to be ready or the third light which Nathan cut. As always the holes are extremely difficult to dig as the ground is nearly all hard packed clay and rock.

Tonight was a lot easier though using an air chisel we bought for $15 at Home Depot. Though our compressor underpowered the tool, it still cut through the rock and clay nicely and shaped the hole perfectly.

The countertop's third coat looks great and I applied the fourth tonight.

We mixed concrete a new way using a 5 gallon bucket, a drill and the 6 inch paddle mixer we inherited from crazy susan. This worked very nicely as well and saved a lot of hassle using the concrete mixer.
