Slow cooked a couple of slabs of spareribs overnight.  Ty and Ian put on the west side roof sheathing, then the 9″ trim piece at the roof edge on the north side.  They secured a tarp over the roof peak vent using the last of my antique staples (1976 vintage).  Sean, Luther, Fred, and Perry (until noon) worked on building the roof structure over the Sun Room.  Taylor Rental called to say that the problem with the log splitter was that I had overfilled the gas tank.  Hmmm…  Taking out my frustration, I widened the opening into the flue pipe inside the chimney cleanout to accommodate an 8″ brush (Kevin had sawn that opening 6″ wide for some reason.)  Then Chree and I did some site and RV cleaning because…  John and Mary Jane Cuneo arrived mid-afternoon for a two-day visit.  The spareribs, further cooked over the campfire, went down in a hurry after a lengthy swim and paddle around the lake!
