Sonny and Ian went on another staging raid en route Fern Lake, bringing the final pieces needed to finish the third buck all the way across the west wall.  They then spent the day shingling while I cut and stained per their requirements.  I also cut in the KOMA^® blocks for the exterior light that will go above the shop door and for the exterior weatherproof electrical outlet that will be next to that door.  In typical good-service fashion, Goodro’s delivery truck showed up less than 3 hours after I ordered some more KOMA^® for the frieze boards. Larry Kaufmann (owner of Long Ridge Concrete) came by late afternoon to repair the north foundation wall crack that manifested over the winter.  After Larry dug down to the footer, we applied an adhesive membrane over the crack that, Larry assures me, will keep any water from penetrating through the wall.
