Shingles, siding and slides


What a cool contraption for drying wet shingles! The rack is the "lath" from "lath and plaster" that forms walls in old houses like ours. It'll take weeks for shingles to dry in this humid weather, so they may go on the house now and get stained in the spring.

Somehow this siding shot of the shed is blessed with Carey working and Jacob stripping off his shirt!

Max had to pee so badly at lunch today that he jumped off these hanging stairs. Landing in the rocks below, he was bleeding from the hind leg and took an extended refuge behind the hedge.
"What have you done to my world?" Max asked Jacob.

Without access at the back, these ramps are the new entry, making way for concrete forms for the stairs.

With such a steep view and recovering from today's leap into the rocks,  Max wouldn't risk this steep slope. Neighbour dog, Sky, taught Ruby to crouch low and go slow, but Max would have no part of it.
