One thing I like about this sketch is that it gets more vague as it goes up. My hard numbers start at the ground: the things I’ve actually measured, and the roof is something I have never done before, I don’t really know how it’ll work out. I’m going to build most of it, then work it out as it comes together, from the ground up. 

I’ve made a few mistakes already, but they weren’t so bad that I had to scrap the wood. I cut something too long, and that’s the best way to cut something, if you’re going to do it wrong. 

None of the angular supports are totally final, at least not with regards to how they’ll touch the roof. They do look kinda cool, though, huh?

As I was cutting the first three posts today, the closest ones on the image there, I saw a convoy of Teslas with out of state plates drive by. It made me grumpy, buncha out of staters on my road? piss off. 

It occured to me that the reason they like coming to places like Vermont or Portland or wherever is because they haven’t been screwed up by the ill concieved notions of places like New York City. And the reason they have been screwed up by the ill concieved notions of places like New York City is because the people who live in New York City don’t live here. 

By spending time in Vermont they’re ruining what they love about it: their own absence.
