🕷 A spider patrolling the wood pile.

Today is GiveSTLDay. My employer, St. Louis Public Radio, is raising money to make our building more bird-safe. If you’d like to help out, here’s where you can learn more.

Hoping to get some paw paws late this summer.

Turned out ok. Pictured: A helper; The old improvised wood rack; The new wood rack in place; Filled.

Tools: I’m using my late grandfather’s carpenter’s square, my dad’s tape measure and my iPad in today’s build.

Last year’s hastily assembled firewood rack (a few garden stakes laid across some bricks to keep the wood off the ground, basically) finally gave out yesterday evening, so I spent the evening designing a new one in SketchUp. We’ll see how it comes together.
