On Thursday we were promised rain – first by 8 in the evening, then in the middle of the afternoon. We were really under the gun, because the roof on the residence and on Jacob’s Well both only had tar paper down. Breakfast was served at 6:30, work began at 7, and, though we took breaks, the day didn’t end until well after 5.
Atop Jacob’s Well lodge -- Dave W., Glenn, Ted, Eric, Albert, Debbie, Gale and Jean -- the old soffits were removed, rafter extensions replaced as needed on the roof overhangs and sheathing repaired, all this after the roof was stripped of its three layers of shingles and paper.
In the large living room on the inside of Jacob’s Well, Dave M., Peg, Ted, Rose Ann and Margaret, caulked and sheetrocked and then paneled the ceiling with tongue and groove knotty pine. This sounds relatively simple, but first they put on two additional coats of finish on the T&G boards, find a dry place to store them while the other work was done, and then finally nail them in place, so that the joints and nail holes were virtually invisible.
