After a lengthy hiatus visiting family and enjoying a cruise from Rhode Island to Maine with Doug & Kathy O’Brien aboard EAGLE FORD, got back to work on the barn today.  Another 15 square feet of shingles stapled onto the west wall, including the small triangle on the northwest corner.  Have been fretting about how to do that triangular piece for months now.  When the time came to actually do the deed, just faked it one shingle at a time, with some help from Chree.  Came out okay… but I’m sure there must be some old Indian trick known by professionals.  Our dock has emerged, once again, from beneath the lake; two weeks ago, after some hefty rainstorms, the top of the dock was 2½″ under water.  The water temperature now is a delightful 79°F.
