Ian and Perry came back to work at their usual hour.  Perry began putting mid-span blocking between the ceiling joists while Ian and I finished the joist hangar installation task.  Sean, as befits his exalted position as master carpenter-in-charge and boss-about-town, arrived somewhat later. After consultations about house design changes and other decisions Chree and I have made that affect construction, Sean began putting on the hurricane ties that will keep the ceiling (and ultimately the roof) from parting company with the rest of the house in a good New England nor’easter.  Sean departed on other business at noon, towing my trailer.  After lunch, and between rain showers, Ian and Perry almost finished the mid-span blocking, deciding to call it quits at beer-thirty.  Chree and I attended the Lake Dunmore / Fern Lake Association annual meeting in the evening.
