New felt is in the process of being placed over the old felt on the 100 building. The roof trim has been painted white. Some plywood was found rotted, as can be seen, between 102 and 103. I seriously doubt that they will progress beyond the 200 building by the end of the week. They did work late this evening. It appears that the crew is no more than seven guys, but they do work hard. One of the busiest workers is, I am told, sixty-eight years old. It makes my bones hurt to see him go up and down that ladder all day long. There is a lot of sand on the roof that has accumulated through the years. The tiles were never nailed down. They were held down by gravity and held on by one by twos parallel to the roof edge. They are tossing the old tile down into a dump trailer. It crumbles into small pieces. I suggested that some of that be put at the end of our boat ramp to fill the void left by years of boat launching. Two years ago Jerry put six yards of oyster shell in the hole, but it all washed out.
Robbie and Chuck worked on the finger piers all day. The photo shows what is now done behind the 500 building. Robbie showed me one of the cleats that he has purchased to place on the piers to tie on to for boats. They are eight inches long and galvanized. He was able to get 90 for $300.
The paint for the buildings is still undecided. A different shade of yellow was placed on the front of 204 today for consideration.
