The outside of the main building is finished: all windows are in and all shingles are on
The Cottage on The Island -- a work forever in progress
May - October 2008
built by Steve Winter with help from many this year:
Paula, Carolyn, Dave, Dave, George, Erin, Jim, Joyce,
Jake, Barbara, Helen, Karen, Lucy, Ron, Jayson
Many thanks to all.
More help needed next summer if
you are free -- or at least cheap ;-)
next year I need sanders and painters ... and maybe backrub specialists

The outside of the main building is finished: all
windows are in and all shingles are on
Beginning work on the east side
Wonder workers staining endless shingles
Jake with even more shingles ...
Shingles hanging inside to dry ... I FINALLY developed a
system ...

Seagulls cleaning out all the blueberries -- en mass
-- at the peak of ripeness

Wonderful dinner and wonderful Paula on the front deck
