The Props assist the House

Until the House is built

And then the Props withdraw

And adequate, erect,

The House support itself

And cease to recollect

The Auger and the Carpenter-

Just such a retrospect

Hath the perfected Life-

A past of Plank and Nail

And slowness-then the Scaffolds drop

Affirming it a Soul

the house is framed? what?

we couldn't believe it...the framing is already well under way!  we're really getting excited.  it actually looks like a house.  we spent quite a while walking around all the rooms.  i want it done now.

the smell of construction sites always make me think back to when i was younger and my uncle built homes.  my brother, sister, cousins and i would play in the big dirt piles.
