These have sprung up quickly - I'll need to transplant them tomorrow. I'm skeptical to plant anything before there is little chance of frost. The covering of the house situation is close to being solved. There was a tarp donation and another hardware store is going out of business so I'll be able to pick up some insect separation equipment at attractive prices tomorrow.
The dwelling itself will most certainly be an ongoing project and will certainly be improved. The process of construction has offered not only problems to be solved but also interesting possibilities. For example, the spiral failure problem may have been a structural inconvenience, but it also pointed to a way in which I could design this to be collapsible (that, and a little creative origami w/r/t the covering).
I've also come across an old Singer sewing machine (which I may have to repair) so I will begin on the construction of the covering tomorrow. I have come across some ideas in ancient painting texts with respect to ideal lighting and will try incorporate them into the design of the openings. If anyone can tell me what a braccia is I would appreciate it...
In addition, if I may nominate a PR documentary of the week: 'The Century of the Self'

If you get bored with my monologue, watch this in its entirety. It's fascinating.
a handclasp 'til the morrow -
