Summary

Five people and five days at the lab. Getting Paul caught up on progress, sightings and other less interesting stuff.
First on the list is the
POOPER: there are concerns about the strength of the structure and proper venting.
Should garbage cans or plastic wheely bins be used for storage. Rafters are up and the roof is taking shape. Workers spent time splitting
Tamarack shakes for roofing. Big
trees are better because they have more material available without knots. A mountain lion was sighted while guys were out felling a tree. There are also concerns about black
bears so some people are packing but to date no one has been bothered. A discussion ensues about the awesomeness of the
electric vehicles. and the importance of timely maintenance. And, kudos to all who participated in garbage pick-up.
Second, Brennan did a masterful impersonation of
Spiderman while tacking up
cardboard on the roof of the office/garage on the hottest day of the summer so far. Third, Charlie found a spring but, unfortunately, it's probably on USFS
land. Baby goats love trucks and the
LGD is stern with a
chicken.
Fourth, the
paid position of kitchen commander is being offered.
Fifth, there are a couple of workshops coming up:
rocket mass heater and the
farmstead meatsmith guys. Owen Halbutzel is visiting and a podcast is forthcoming.
Sixth, the toxic gick, which turned out to be diazinon, was removed from the future intern storage area.
Seventh, a friendly neighbor sprayed a little 2-4-D on the edges of the property. Hopefully, that won't happen again.
Finally, everyone cheated and let Paul win at
poker...
