Picked the hottest days of summer to work on the roof of the cabin installing Beulah's chimney. Not a smart move for a thick man in the heat. This job was put off for 4 months because I just didn't want to deal with cutting through the overhang and roof to install it. While everyone is talking about the summer's heat, I was thinking about cool fall evenings, a wood stove, a pot of bean soup and corn bread in the oven. So happy to get this job completed. Robbie helped all day Saturday and spent most of his time on the roof, too. Late in the day when we were both delirious from the heat, I was holding back flashing while he attempted to cut a roofing screw with the reciprocating power saw. It broke through the screw and struck my hand in the palm. Not my day to lose a thumb as I pulled back quick enough that it just bruised and made a superficial abrasion. At ManCamp, personal protective equipment is optional.
Also finished installing the floor tile in the bathroom/utility room. Ready to grout this week.
Lewis Copeland visited before heading back to Nashville. It was great having him perform locally again.
