Roofing

This morning we helped Eric and Satti put the metal on the roof of their straw bale house. The weather is forecast to be deteriorating (yeah!), and we felt it was best to get this task done before the wind and rain got here. Besides, this will leave them all weekend to get other building tasks accomplished.


We were done before 10 am, with a 7 am start, and the adobe clay for the plaster was being delivered while we were high fiving. Now the real work is beginning.


It was then horse stall cleaning for us, and since I still had the camera in my pocket I could not help but take this picture. Where is Waldo, and who is he?

A horned "frog" (but aren't they actually reptiles, not amphibians?)

Anneke said...

Yes, they are reptiles. Now, do you know what he is sitting on?

How cool! Don't care what he really is, I want him/her? to be a gila monster! You can call him Gil or her Gillian. As to perch, it's just one more foreign substance in our great southwest!

He does look like he/she should be some kind of monster, but it's all show. You are right as to your perch guess: it's horse apples.

Shannon said...

I'm thinking that by "horse apples" you mean horse poop, right?

Anneke said...

Yep. Don't you call that vine with the gourds there horse apples? I remember some on Stacy Road.
