NOTES ON AN ENVELOPE AND 2Xs FROM HABITAT BUILD

NOTES ON AN ENVELOPE AND 2Xs

FROM THE HABITAT BUILD

    For Greg Rapp, whose Habitat shirt reads Captain on the back

I apologize right away we didn’t think

to have enough saw horses—today

you get to wear hard hats—watch

for hazards—a hose

is a hazard

Banana shaft all walls

Any journeymen here?

Top of walls, check ceiling first

and start in the top corner

2x10s out there use the ugly lumber

blocking—it’s just blocking everywhere

This wall needs blocking

twisted boards ok

save the good lumber—blocking’s

backnailing for the sheetrock I know I’m talking fast

Oh

we can put some rat runs here

This lot was a cherry orchard...they used arsenic…

we’ll bring in soil--

We’re gonna start with rat runs across this bay

Mark as you go it’s not consistent at all

Use these 1x4s What do we do now? I’ll show you

Grab three more of those--

Start out at 23 ¼ first one—24 on center after that--

Rat runs hold 2xs in place at 24 for sheetrock
