Lumbering

99 birds at the corner ofCamino de la Placitas & Paseo del Pueblo Norte...

(click to count)

The wood for shelving, bedframe, outhouse roof, and,
of course, the yurt deck's support structure, arrived Monday:

Mark put together a very nice basic bedframe
and I stained it - shelves, too:

The bed is screwed into the wall and supported by one 4x4 post.
My office will be underneath, opening up a lot of space in my tiny digs.

Meanwhile,
Mark and assistant Scott are beginning the deck by
preparing a level surface:These rebars measure the slight settling of the blocks,
so they can be shimmed as the as the warm weather melts the snow.

The outhouse roof in progress...

Lots of action now. Trying to keep working on all fronts at once - teaching, web site clients, and this construction site. And blog!

Sage Suede Shoes, part 2

The dish is in place! I'm online (obviously...)!

Also check out the cat's outdoor entrance.
Browser has to climb the scratching post and jump up onto the ledge,
and he does!
...but it makes me nervous, so I'm looking for a cat ladder to replace it...This is the future home of the ger -
I'm leveling it as much as possible before we build the platform.

I scalped two tall "flagpoles" that stood by the parking lot and recruited them for a clothesline.
