Percival house work weekend preparation today.
The spring work weekend will include construction on the north side of the Percival house of a replacement exterior stairway for the first floor door, as well as a new exterior stairway for the second floor door, by members of the same carpentry crew that did such a nice job with the new exterior ramp into the kitchen last fall. Mike Fox and Zack Wyllie led a crew that got the frost posts set today for both stairways.
By the time this first photo was taken, Mike had dug the first frost post hole with the Kubota, picked up a frost post from near the car barn, and set it in the hole with Zack's direction. He was now back-filling the hole, as president Dave (and others) looked on with shovels in preparation to finish up the shoveling work.
Mike used the Kubota to lift, move and set the posts. Next photo shows the second post being picked up as Dave and Zack look on.
