I woke up this morning feeling carpentry sore, which is different from farming sore. We’re tearing off the south wall of Pops’ house and replacing all the woodpecker damaged siding with new plywood and then cement fiber-board over the top. Yesterday we got the scaffolding up to the height we needed, some twenty four feet above the ground, and got the tear-down of the old materials almost done.
