The framing crew that was expected to start work on the river House today did not show up. They ran into some issues on their current project and I am told they will not start until Friday morning. We shall see. I spent several hours loading a 10 cubic yard dumpster with all manner of debris, but mostly pallets, from the construction site. I oriented them so that I could fill the open spaces between pallets with more refuse.

Meanwhile, at the Road House, we were visited by a rooster for the second day. Given where our house is located it was not at all obvious where our guest came from. Jeanine, a friend to all animals except snakes, captured the rooster and handed it off to a neighbor who knew the owner and agreed to deliver it to him. I was not present for the roundup and am very sorry I missed it.

Using some wood shelving I saved from the River House demolition, I fashioned a threshold that will sit between the bamboo floor and cork floor in Maya’s tiny house. It will need to be stained an appropriate color before being permanently installed and finished with polyurethane. It has a rather complicated profile which is not apparent from the photo.
