S wall deshingl'd

in the morning light the buttoned-up S wall can be seen, along with its talus slope of discarded shingles. 

S wall deshingled

previous lots of surplus used shingles have been offered to neighbours for kindling:  they're aromatic and have aged to where they're highly combustible.  some have been disposed of in that fashion and others have ended up at the dump.  recent energy price fluctuations might have made these more desirable for fireplace and wood stove use, but the builder's utility driver showed up bright and early to haul them off.  there's no need to start worrying about these as a diminishing resource.  there are plenty more where they came from.
