Annual Work

Some people have the traditional spring-cleaning around now; our family is busy with the spring lobster fishing. I have my traditional repairs on the Clan stronghold.



I made this "slip shod" piece of construction about 4 years ago, the outer wall 3 ½ years ago. Annually I have to make repairs on the outer wall due to winter weather (and composting) not to mention the fact that it is over 100 feet long. The inner keep however has managed to survive fairly well; I've only had to patch one hole over course of its life span, not bad for being made out of dead wood. Over the next month me, my brothers, and various other members of the Order of the Zaquren will be under taking the project of refortifying the outer wall (maybe we'll finally put a door on the west wall like I've meant to for the last 3 ½ years) . I intend to take pictures of the progress for the blog. This is the south Gate>
