Was supposed to rain today… 80% chance!  I needed it to rain today to check the watertight integrity of the house roof again.  So, of course, we got a total of 80 drops of rain… not even enough to cause us to cover up the saws.  Perry and I built the interior wall that separates the dressing area from the sauna room and into which the pocket door will slide. Brian came by mid-morning to take measurements of the house and sauna building so he could start bending metal for the roofs.  Perry left at 2, whereupon I spent some time cleaning up the area around the sauna building, then sawed, shaped, and sanded a 2x4 into two handles for the sauna pocket door. With the sun shining brightly at 5:30, I clambered onto the house roof yet again and applied a second coat of Thompson’s Waterseal^® to the chimney.
