Katy, Alex, & Devin arrived in time for breakfast to commence a short fun-filled weekend visit: swimming, canoeing, kayaking, Frisbee golf, croquet, shooting, barbequing, the obligatory heart’s game, and a very interesting tour of the Omya marble quarry in Middlebury. Mike Many, Mike Many, Jr (Pikey), and Zach Saxe (who lives at the north end of Fern Lake) got here about 9 with the first pieces of metal roof edge trim.  Unfortunately, things went a bit downhill from there, as Mike and crew struggled until nearly 1 o’clock to get Mike’s forklift started, said forklift needed to hoist the coils of metal roofing material onto the de-coiler stand so that they could fabricate the roof pans.  The guys returned about 2 and started putting roof pans into place, getting the east half of the south-facing roof done by Labatt Blue time.
