Dear Bob, Paty, et. al/

I dont really have alot of heroic nerrative on this weekends adventures in loftiness. Trust your scaffolding system, take your time when at altitude, and always move the big tarp as the first of the weeklends invocations to shelter. Droopy tarps give a certain oriental flavor to the structure. We did get the east wall plywood up and the two eyebrow roofs over the windows, but its a bit hard to see with the scaffolding and railing pyschosis blocking the view of the structure itself. The roof pieces were cut in Peconic during the week and brought North. It took two scaffolding setups, the second of which we left to finish off the high east wall work, namely ply on the eyebrow roofs and the roof line trim on the east gable and the eyebrows.

Next week we order enough ply to finish the wall and roof sheathing . We'll get the cedar for the rake trim as well. I dont expect to actually finish the ply untill the mid month weekend when we have three days.I have ordered the CertainTeed Carriage House shingles in red. I told the lumber yard I ought be able to get to the roofing about Labor Day weekend..

Love to all.......BSB
