6 October 2014

One match set the accumulated detritus from this year’s activities well ablaze.  Except for 5 stumps left over from the last burn, all was consumed by noon.  While I was doing my part for global warming, Kevin and Brian started putting pans (the technical term for the part of a standing seam roof that lies flat against the sheathing) on the north side, getting that side done by beer-thirty.  While that was ongoing, I split a bunch of kindling wood for this winter / next spring, then cut up and moved into the woodshed some of the slab wood pile left from Toby Rheaume’s beam-sawing endeavors back in August 2010.  That red oak and maple has been under a tarp the whole time and still is in very burnable condition. Went over to Kate’s for wine and hors d’oeuvres, joined there by Tammy and Fran.  A fun time… and somehow we made two bottles of vino fino disappear.
