my neighbor asked me to help him erect this quonset storage
shed (on piers to stay above king tide's high water mark),
ribs already bolted together by him and his wife. the
crew included 3 carpenters, 1 union rigger, a retired
high-rise builder, and 2 handy DIYers who could
turn pro if they ever needed the money.
i was first to arrive and last to
leave, 3.5 hours up and down
                  ladders, a true test
                         of my torn
                          calf's re-
                            covery.
