Wednesday, September 3 - 1918. Luckily the weather is warm and pleasant. Driving nails even at the present temperature of +30 F. is not any too pleasant. Our walls are double with a 4" air space between. Today we are sheathing the outside with a layer of "Calcot Sheathing" and a layer of "Rubberoid". The first is a paper covered matting of sea-weed which absorbs moisture and acts to warm or a blanket. The second is a kind of tarred paper, quite strong and water-proof. Thursday Sept. 4-1918. At last the roof is on. While it was going up we divided, Bob and I endeavoring to finish before Tank and Allen on this own site. Bob and I won but both sides had a good many bad fits. We are working long hours and the delicious rabbit stew goes very well. We started a rock pier today. Every man will put in ten rocks morning and night. In this way we should have a good place for landing from the boats.
