Octavia (or was is it Octavio?) has joined her/his brethren at Silver
Lake. Sean came by first thing to consult
with the carpenters vis á vis the soffit construction details. Ian and Perry spent most of the day
purloining (sic). Fred and I spent most
of the day putting up additional exterior sheathing and, at the very end, the
joist hangers at the very peak of the roof.
Right after lunch Goodro’s delivered another two thousand dollars worth
of building materials… on one of their smaller trucks. I hereby attest that the lake temperature is
as perfect as it gets.
Post Script: Mouse #9 didn’t even
wait until full dark before taking the one-way trip to Silver Lake.
