the main foyer in the science theatres building, with funky macaroni lights and linear wood panelling approaching relativistic velocity.

our old antique trösser hand-crank coffee mill, doing what it does best – helping make the best damned cup of coffee. the grinds are perfect, and steep extremely well in a french press.

we installed a new subfloor in a kitchen this afternoon, before hanging a set of new cupboards. it’s going to look fantastic when it’s all done. then, I went home to my old, cheap kitchen…

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.

evan stacks the last of the wood that was taken out of his uncle’s house during renovations. now, for rebuilding…

nearly all of the demolition work is done – some drywall is still left, but it can wait until framing starts.

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.

He conquered a huge fear of climbing above the third rung to do this. Awesome.

the remnants of the wall, after yanking off the siding, stucco, plywood, and insulation.

the new observation platform overlooking the bow river valley, at the north end of the bowmont pathway in silver springs.

Evan and I went to Home Depot for the monthly kid’s workshop craft. Today, he built a desktop pencil holder shaped like a schoolbus.
