Digging the footer
Mark and I have been
tortoising through our digging project. Between my carpal tunnel and
his hernia, we try not deal with more than two wheelbarrow loads of
soil per day.
Still, slowly but
surely, we're making progress. The shape of the addition is now roughed
out and we've started digging the footers.

Know the feeling
The jarring can be hard on carpel tunnel. We do a lot of digging projects in our clay soil. You do have to take it easy, so you don't hurt yourself, but I sadly miss the digging, when it's gone. It can be very cathartic.
