Sonny and Ian arrived promptly at 7, with Sean just a couple of minutes behind. It took Sean approximately 32.4 seconds to install the Anderson window screen tracks that had so befuddled the three stooges yesterday afternoon.  OF COURSE that’s how they go in!  Duhhhhh!!!!  By late morning we had the door and the exterior trim installed, so while Sonny and Ian enjoyed a bucolic luncheon, I quickly painted the trim (plus a portion of the east wall frieze board that I somehow missed doing the other day).  Then, during my own lunch, I ran the well water at full pressure, drawing samples at the 5, 15, 30, and 60 minute marks.  At the end of the day all four samples looked the same – clear and bright.  Go figure!  So I dumped all the yucky drinking water in my gallon jugs and refilled them and Delores’ water tanks with the good stuff.  Sonny and Ian put shingles on the east wall of the sun room all afternoon, getting about half that area done.  I installed the French door hardware (which is absolutely gorgeous!) and sorted shingles as needed.  In the evening, while Marty and Merry were out carousing, I dog sat for Shadow, who is visiting Chez Lapidus for a couple of weeks while Heather and family are on vacation.
