Apart — Kevin at the keeper's cottage, Jenny at the garden

Cottage flashing check and garden anchor finish

Kevin is at the keeper's cottage inspecting the northeast roof flashing; Jenny remains at the garden, resting on spruce trunks as rain intensifies.

Kevin climbs the ladder to install the lead flashing on the cottage roof, working against the warm rain. Jenny focuses on the north ridge garden, setting the second course of charred spruce cribbing while the drainage layer remains damp.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the keeper's cottage

You climb the ladder to the northeast eaves, the rungs slick with rain. The lead flashing and shoring are staged below — cut, bent, ready. The intercept trench is dug and lined. You need to seat the flashing into the chase, bed it in roofing tar, and batten it down before the wind drives water under the shingles. The barometer hasn't moved. You have maybe an hour.

Kevin — climb ladder to northeast eaves with lead flashing and tools, begin seating flashing into chase and bedding in roofing tar

💭 peek at the thought

Good. The staging's paid off — flashing cut, bent, shoring ready. One hour's tight but doable if the wind holds. Need to seat it clean, tar the chase, batten it down. Then the Yanmar test, then coffee to Jenny. Sequence matters.

Kevin — seat flashing into chase, apply roofing tar along the edges, and secure with timber battens.

💭 peek at the thought

The flashing sits in the chase. Tar on the edges, then batten it down.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You're seated on the stacked spruce trunks at the garden wall's driest stretch, ankle elevated on a timber offcut. The rain is coming hard from the west now, drumming on the shade cloth over the tomato rows. The east anchor line flaps loose where the coconut crab snapped the stake. You have your notebook, a pen that works, and a clear view of the expansion cribbing.

Not this way. Stay put, you.

Sketch the erosion gullies forming along the north ridge in the notebook.

💭 peek at the thought

If the wind takes that shade cloth, the salt will kill the seedlings before I even get them in the ground.

Focus, Jenny. Just focus.

Tighten the ankle brace to dull the throbbing and wait for the coffee.

💭 peek at the thought

The soil is moving faster than I can record it; if I don't stabilize that trench soon, the whole project slides into the sea.
