in honour of zh’s museum in michigan, i just painted this guy’s house grey.

i think there were a couple that were ‘on end’, but what you did is probably right

i see, the one in the center of B is upright. i guess i didnt know how fastidious you were being with the joints. now that i look at my 3d drawing i notice that it doesnt correspond to my original plan sketch where i had 2 stacked on top of each other in that location. i hope the johnstons will still move in.

do you think i should label the plan? i didnt figure herr judd would have done that.

i guess you could label it ‘untitled’? that feels like cheating, though.
