So, this is the first wall we built with Clark on the lake, and the next will essentially be a mirror on the other side of the drive. And yes, the blackflies were horrendous, and yes, they did carry Damon away. We spend so much time working on the ocean, where the breeze tends to keep them away, that we forget how bad they can be inland.
Damon and I spent last week building walls with our friend, Clark, on Damariscotta Lake in Nobleboro. We were just getting there at the tail end of a job he had been doing by himself for a few months. All of the wall you see in these two photos was built by a crew of one, a crew of Clark. And there are more! Clark Doody (hope I'm spelling the last name right) is the owner of CND Masonry 563-6548. He is a whiz when it comes to fireplaces and chimneys, a brilliant concrete finisher, and a pleasure to work with.
