Bathhouse 15

As I explained last week, we were able to hire a friend of of my usual hired man for a few days thanks to a generous donation from one of my gentlemen.  Having two experienced construction workers in addition to Chekhov and me made the job go much more quickly and smoothly than last time, and we were able to do in three days what I expected to take four.  This picture was taken last Friday, and as you can see the only major thing left to do at that time was the roof shingles.  We’ve done that since then, and though I had to go to Seattle for a few days earlier this week, I’m back now and working on the skirting.  Grace has figured out what we need to start the roof, so as soon as I figure out how I’m going to pay for it, that will be underway!
