Reaching for the Stars....

Ok! The beam did get up & in place last week before we ran back into Home Depot. It was once again a long weekend with a fishing derby, so the boys quit early on Friday & came back on Tuesday. As long as the sun holds out for a few more weeks, we should be good without the roof in proper.

So, this past week, the boys came back & put up some rafters. Now we look like we are putting in a castle!! The roof design was altered slightly - I need to go over to see if it has changed yet, but once again, they ran out of nails for the nail gun, which should be arriving on the boat on Saturday. The supply centre in Port Alberni was not able to deliver them to the boat in time last Wednesday (for delivery to Bamfield on the Thursday boat) - it's all very confusing to those who don't understand our delivery system & believe me, it's a real pain in the backside when those on the other end miss things by only a few minutes.

Anyway, it's Friday & things are very quiet around here - tomorrow the boys should be back at it & hopefully the plywood gets put up in short order. I think someone needs to start cracking the whip as autumn has arrived & who knows when the rains will start up for the rest of the year......
