5.25.2014

Kyle and Julia had to head back to NYC this morning - we got to the Casino a little early and walked around.  They were having a run/bike event that was about over - always something going on around Spa City!  We so appreciated Kyle & Julia coming up to help us with the water - plus it was really good to see them again.

Jim & I headed to church in Saratoga after the bus came but we were a little early for that too.  Across the street is one of the many springs in the area.  The city is famous for its naturally carbonated springs that were thought to have many health benefits.  We took a little sample but couldn't really tell about the carbonation.  There are 17 such springs in the city - you can bring water bottles to fill too, so we'll do that sometime and see if you can tell about the carbonation more.


After lunch, we headed back to work on our little shed in the woods.  Jim & Kyle had gotten some scaffolding set up before they left last night, so then we were able to work on the roof.


It's going to be a simple shed roof with just a little angle to let the water roll off.  Here Jim is setting the rafters into place...




Squaring everything up...


And then it was time for sheathing.


And I got to use the nail gun again on top of the shed - I'm not sure who's more brave - me or Jim!


It started to sprinkle so we just fastened a tarp over the top to keep the water out.


Then we actually started putting some things in to get them out of the weather - yard tools, the power sprayer, scaffolding, etc.
