Big thanks to Joel and Jackson Grimes for helping Lew build the form for the concrete footer for mounting the millstone. Today, Elijah Smith and Jacob Penich volunteered their time helping Lew with mixing the concrete, pouring it into the footer, and leveling it. We really appreciate these young men volunteering their time to help us.
