SO MUCH INSULATION
SPOON
spoon: whence a ladder
[ The side of my house. The second floor window has not yet been boarded shut. A metal ladder sticks out of it by about a foot. ] Remember that ladder? The one I left upstairs because I needed it to get up on the roof so I could put up the last of the …
SPOON: a room of one’s own
[ A double bed, piled with blankets, sits in the corner of a room. The wall next to it is slanted, and bare to the outside sheathing of plywood. The wall behind it at least has insulation. Next to it is a set of shelves filled with boxes of soap. ] When we finally got …
SPOON: a roof!
[ A stack of roof trusses — two by six boards in an arch shape, held together by plywood braces at the corners — stands in the yard next to the house. Another truss sits alone next to them. Behind the stack is a big black dog. ] I was, I gotta admit, worried about …

SPOON: kitchen sink!

SPOON: progress!
[ A corner next to the bed platform in Tyrava; it has a cabinet built into it, made from old weathered pallet wood. ] Lots of progress to post about! In between working on a 12×16 cabin for me & the business, I’ve been making improvements to Tyrava. Mostly storage; one of the big problems …
SPOON: random catchup things
[A sturdy set of shelves, solidly made from old, weathered wood. They’re an extension to the tool shelves I made last month. They’re about three feet wide, a foot and a half deep, and seven feet tall, and already about half full of Stuff.] Lotta projects getting done, not so many pictures taken. Gonna work …
