Waiting for the sun - July 16th




Rain in mid July is not unheard of in this wet coast climate, but still it is unusual. And as far as building a house is concerned, it's a pain. Until we get the metal roof on everything inside the house is wet. So getting that roof on is a priority, but we need the roof to be dry so we can measure it for the roofing (walking on a sloping wet roof is not advisable). Snookered. Similarly with the exterior foam insulation; it's sitting there ready to be glued on, but we need the plywood to be dry so that the glue adheres properly. One project we can move ahead with is shoveling the pile of gravel into the living room to raise the floor level before we pour the concrete slab. Luckily, Elgin is coming up here for a few days to help out with this and some other work... splitting firewood comes to mind.

Anyway, tomorrow is Cortes Day, the island's annual summer festival. (it was supposed to be today but guess what... postponed because of the rain.) We're keeping our fingers crossed and gazing anxiously skywards looking for a break in the clouds...
