This is our concrete prayer on behalf of all of us (on and off Naval Base Kitsap) for the abolition of ALL weapons of mass destruction,
especially the Trident nuclear weapons deployed just across our back fence

Facia lines the roof edge
Denny & Tom Russell start sheeting the roof


  

On September 2 Denny, Tom Russell, Senji and Mack Johnson got 2/3rds of the north roof sheeting on. Then Sunday 9/7 George Rodkey, Matt Chamberlin and Dave finished sheeting the south side roof (except for gable ends).

  

Sept 13-14: Joji, Tom Russell, Tom Rogers and Dave finished sheeting the roof, including the gable ends. Jay nailed in all the hurricane clips on the south wall.
Skylights and light tubes are planned and plumbing vents will poke through the roof.
Roofing planned for late September, early October. Windows and doors, too.
Porch gables will be added next summer.
