    he's working alone.     tomorrow 101 degrees…,  well,  today already,   Thursday,

    i like him a lot.     good conversation as he goes along,   all insulated ,  moisture and pest barrier.  On paper,  it's a shed.  Un stated and defacto,  especially  as the windows go in…..not really.

    my brother and his youngest son were visiting New Mex maybe 10 years or so ago.   Were leaving for back home to Minnesota and this shirt was on the back of the chair.   Saw this,  saw them walking out and was quiet.  didn't say a word.  i wanted it.   Have not worn it,  i guess the shame of being a thief but there it was hanging today and i put it on…a really Beauty Full print on that orange/red color i call chinese red  rayon,  and looking down….well,   there it is…

    they all know how to use the Bobcat.  Today,  eyeballed the foundation space level,  sunk 1 or 2 railroad ties,  shovel dug.  checked level over and over and used Bobcat to add or take away.  One more day of that.   Both the Goat Boat and Horse trailer pulled down in front of B.   Not optimal in fire season but necessary for the coming of building crew on Tuesday,  which is still standing.

    talked to Deb Lacativa on phone today…while things were going on outside….Jenny,  Jeff with  a Bobcat   moving railroad ties up here that Jenny intends to be a retaining wall for the foundation rocks of the new place.   Deb hoped i'd blog all that as it goes and i said i was hesitant…because am always seeing that my descriptions of things  are  not always the reality of what actually is understood to be happening….so many people,  so many  "views"…..

    but maybe i'll try.  see how it feels.   

    so to repeat…railroad ties…12 i think?   Once in place,  a couple truck loads of rock.   Jenny and i had had a blow out a little over a week ago,  so similar to all those of our life long relationship  but today it seemed to be a live and let live energy with her…so as with everything,  begin again.   And to say….things change over and over.   In the moment…there is a man in Sacramento who builds  from scratch..on site.  He is scheduled to come next Tuesday with his crew and complete in one day.   Thing to remember,  this is a house that is not a house.  Is one room,  8' x 15'.    That's all i want.  all i need.   Enough.

    any questions makes it easier to Tell.
