                  | this fence was a relic of someone's
                        ingenuity. with nails, washers, and conduit
                        hangers, they improvised a louvered picket
                        system that could open or close as needed--as if
                        opening and closing like blinds is something a
                        fence needs to do. in its prime it must've been
                        neat, but i never saw it in functional
                        condition--and i've been working at this house
                        on and off for 20
                          years. today it finally had to
                          come down, to be replaced by a simpler
                        design. i was stoked to haul away the painted
                        cedar boards. some are rotted clear through but
                        i plan to plane and rip the good ones to use as
                        trim throughout in tahuya.
