Chree and I spent the morning trimming branches off trees between the house and the lake to open up our view a bit more.  I would have clear-cut the hillside and Chree would have left everything as it was, so some major compromises were necessary.  Hope the “compromising” didn’t disturb the neighbors.  After lunch we gathered together all the “scrap” Blueboard and sawed it into the widths needed to insulate the blind pockets in the exterior walls (which are created when framing corners or where an interior wall will attach to an exterior wall).  The sawing process made an unholy mess out of (1) the cellar, (2) the sawyers, and (3) our formerly black, now blue spotted, doggie.  Swim call soon rectified messes 2 and 3.  Perry brought us some garlic scapes yesterday, so we grilled them (alongside some heart-attack-special burgers) for dinner.  Think garlic-flavored curly fries.  Stumps still smoldering…
