Sean (until he left after lunch) and Luther continued framing the roof structure for the Sun Room.  Ian and Fred put on the Sun Room exterior wall sheathing.  Chree and I decided to go with a light colored brick for that portion of the chimney that will be exposed above the roofline; that decision then communicated to Kevin Haight.  Jim and Sue LaFlam stopped by to check on Sean’s workmanship progress.  I did some cleaning / picking up and hung a few joist hangers until John and Mary Jane came back from their overnight accommodations in Middlebury.  We all and the dogs went for a nice hike up to Silver Lake, only partially dampened by a thunderstorm that rolled through as we were coming back down the trail.  Got back to Fern Lake to find that Brian Thomas from Black Diamond Builders (insulation subcontractor) had arrived to talk about house insulation options.  After a late lunch and swim, John and Mary Jane departed.  Retrieved the log splitter from Taylor Rental, then checked Dolores’ fluid levels and tire pressures in preparation for our 200 mile sojourn over to Fryeburg, Maine tomorrow.
