My job was tearing
down a garden house up at the cabin.
This garden house, I must add was built by somebody who had no knowledge
about carpentry. One obvious clue
was that you could push on the structure and it would sway a bit. In the inside he wrote on a board that
it was built with 80% recycled materials, meaning that he glued together small
scraps of wood and screwed them to the side to build the wall. With nails it is quite easy to take
something down, especially with a good-sized hammer. Screws on the other hand you need to screw out with a drill
bit, which takes forever when they are all stripped. I had some four-letter
words to say about the incompetence of the builder on many an occasion.
Well I did manage to
paint in the mornings. The
Howard/Mandville Gallery is having a miniature show later on in the fall and
they wanted a small boat piece. So
I did this little one of some boats in Stockholm.
