Hi Everyone

Just got off the phone with Bob Harper, so I dont suppose I am really writing this to him as much as everyone else. Stayed home week ago, but cut all the pieces for the main roof overhangs and brought them with us, along with a 20 foot aluminum OHSA rated (500 lb) staging plank. It doesnt feel like we got a whole heck of a lot done with only three little roof extensions.....but when one adds in the hieght and terror factors for post 50 year olds impersonating scaffolding monkeys.....well its good to have that subsystem finished. Much of the work is in setting up scaffolding and moving it.




We were able to relax a bit. It didnt rain, and at the end of the day on Saturday we had clean clothes in which to relax and enjoy a campfire and mountain dinner. Had lunch about 2:00 on Sunbday looking out the anticipated windows, packed up and came home.

For anyone interested in visiting, we will be up every weekend until Labor day. We will not have our student apartment for the Laborday weekend itself.

Next weekend we tackle the East (verrrrrry tall) gable end with plywood and the eyebrow roofs that cap the windows, that will complete the exterior framing of the main structure.

Best to all of you, scattered across the globe...love BSB
