Peter and Robin and Nell and Robert and Parker first week of July, good eating, a sail, more thinking, organizing, building, cleaning.

Bird Tate: replace

Little camp plumbing replacement. Hot water heater moves outside into a shed. Better shower, and addition of outdoor shower; bathroom wall extended 7 inches; old porcelain sink deleted and new kitchen sink placed against the swamp-side wall

For the billiionth time, we experienced a sceptic problem. Lots of folks on the system–Lynn and Steve Green Camp had their two children, spouses and two grandchildren over teh fourth, alongside five of us. Bird assessed and will send an estimate for replacing the distribution tank and layout out more lines, which will also require (he thinks) adding soil that is more drainy to existing lawn.

Trimmed the bank greenstuff; Robert replaced six or eight dock planks that were rotting. Nell bought a sunfish to take to Maine.

Carol K imparts that she wants us to enjoy the river and not find it a burden. She said she and John discussed ways to fund the river before he died, and how to do it. She will pay (with dad’s money) for plumbing and additional sceptic llines, with caveat that we put skin in the game: 175/month into kitty. as long as we pitch in an extra bit to the kitty each month, and if we sell within 5 years, she wants her money back, otherwise not. She also wants to know a good time during the summer that her kids can enjoy the river for a week or two.
