IAN: This looks absolutely perfect. I mean it’s, uh, the right proportions. It’ll be this color right?
ARTIST: Yeah. Yeah.
IAN: Yeah. That’s...that’s...that’s just terrific. It almost looks like the real thing.
ARTIST: You got it.
IAN: When we get the actual, uh, set, when we get the piece, it’ll...it’ll follow exactly these specifications. I mean even these contours and everything?
ARTIST: Um, I’m not understanding it. What do you mean “the actual piece?”
IAN: Well I mean...I mean when you build the actual piece.
ARTIST: But this is what you asked for, isn’t it?
IAN: What?
ARTIST: Well this is the piece.
IAN: This is the piece?
ARTIST: Yes.
IAN: Are you telling me that this is it? This is scenery? Have you ever been to Stonehenge?
ARTIST: No, I haven’t been to Stonehenge.
IAN: The triptychs are...the triptychs are twenty feet high. You can stand four men up them!
ARTIST: Ian, I was...I was...I was supposed to build it eighteen inches high.
IAN: This is insane. This isn’t a piece of scenery.
ARTIST: Look, look. Look, this is what I was asked to build. Eighteen inches. Right here, it specifies eighteen inches. I was given this napkin, I mean...
IAN: Forget this! Fuck the napkin!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you…
the portable screened-in porch.
Oh, please don’t tell me we spent two hundred dollars on a MODEL of a portable screened in porch…Geez, Kevin’s HEAD barely fits in that thing.
Oh. No. We’re OK. Here we are having just hoisted it onto the cart.
So briefly, the rationale behind this thing is, any second now, the mosquitos are going to make the deck pretty much uninhabitable. Long term, we would like to put a screened in porch on the part of the deck just outside the office. But that could take a while. So for now, we’re going with this. I’m sure I’ll have lots of exciting pictures tomorrow of the installation process.
