trösser

2011 02 20 trosser

puzzled

2010-11-13 puzzled.jpg

I had the task of piecing together bits of 40 year old plywood, to match the oddly shaped gaps on one wall of the house. A Skil saw is not a precision instrument. Not perfect fits, but good enough to cover things before the wrap and stucco are applied.

climber

Evan climbs out of their fort between foundations in his cousin’s house. By next week, this will all be framed in as an exterior wall.
