Merle is making a woodshed out of old pallets saved from a shopping centre building site – it took him all day to collect the good timber.
The roof is covered from red cedar shingles which he splits from round tree sections he pinches, er I mean, finds in the forest. (up by Jordan River if the RCMP are reading this)
He got me to split a load for him with a sharp blade you whack with a small sledge hammer. He was like Tom Sawyer in that fence painting escapade when he told me it was a bit tricky and a bit intricate and before I knew it he was sitting back smoking a corn cob pipe while I was splitting them for him.
