Fire Interlude
...but first, the lead-up to a new support structure and my interview for a Movie!
A house fire has put this on hold for the moment. I'll be sending an anouncement in JRS and other burningman newsletters hopefully around the end of March to gather a group of brainstormers. Stay tuned...

Finished off the sockets.

Mounted 3 sockets into a 2x6 framework that looked like a 12' Star of David.

Big decision time-the sockets are putting too much pressure on the fiberglass surface. I'm gnna need more points of contact.

These guys came out to interview me for a movie about burning man on 16 Jan 2003. They will be following several artists until and onto the playa.
We had a great time a good interview, and I was so pumped up that I couldn't sleep. In the wee hours of the night, I think I staggered to the can to take a pee, turned on my electric heater and didn't pay attention to where it was pointed. I awoke around 1:30am when the power went out and the bathroom was on fire.
An interesting 24 hours.
I haven't scanned in the majority of the photos of the house after the fire-have yet to replace my computer-but here are a few shots from well after the initial shots, mostly after re-construction started.

Just after the fire-ball is intact
Well, more than a year later, here are those images.

I wanted to construct a shed quickly after the fire to have a place to put some of the excess crap we all seem to accumulate. Having not asked the park management about it's placement, I later moved it - twice - using rollers and my own muscles.

The shed begins it's trip across the yard.
