Dear Bob and Patty
Barak and Jenn and Baeden stayed in a motel in Pownal, next town to the West. We tandem drove after a ferry crossing together with my niece Sara and her husband Steve who had visited Peconic from California. We arrived early enough friday to set up for 2nd floor East windows. Barak solved the second floor window installation methodology for the second window, while I nailed off the first, less planned, and the more difficult of the two. Smart is good.
Built the porch deck on Saturday after moving four wheelbarrow loads of rock into the drainage trench. Barak came by and helped lift the girders. They went to a wedding further up into Vermont. Sunday we got out the plans and built the double cantilever 8'x12' 7" to specs. Tecos are not always pretty.
Sara and Steve called from Dunkin Donuts as we were getting in the loaded truck to leave, so we stayed to show them the camp and water spigot. As we were leaving we found a couple of local inhabitants already celebrating the porch deck with a party of two. The butterflies. The natural life up there is a treat.
Back to work tomorrow....love to all, BSB
