Finally, the shop

We're working on it! For those of you who have been to Brooklin in recent years, you may have seen the shell of our studio/shop to be, complete with well-aged Typar and plastic windows. No more. We're finishing off the building, and adding a shed for lumber and boat storage. We'll be all done and ready for visitors by next summer. . . if not before.

Many shingles. Latex sure isn't real [boat] paint, but this stuff at least covers well and dries fast, even on a fall day.

The kids helped with the first bundle of shingles, then they found something much better to do. We had the crew dig a couple of trenches on the way out so that we could build some better soil for the trees and shrubs to be planted here next spring. Then it poured for a day and a night. Looks like whatever we plant will have to like wet feet. Doesn't get any better than this: fresh dirt plus tons of fresh water equals lovely clean squishy perfect mud.

And two happy parents happily staining shingles while the kids squelch and splash away.
