    Walt Kowaski appeared to be a typical man living in his suburban home on lot 9. The weathered house was bordered by a white picket fence and protected by a broad hedge. Though on closer inspection the paint on the fence was peeling away leaving the darkened wood exposed, and the hedge was withering leaving patches bare. The shadow of a frail, thin figure appeared behind the almost transparent floral curtains. The curtains began to rustle and shake in excitement as they were pulled to the side and

    This is not a typical getaway on The Esplanade set aside to justify working a duration of the year; instead, it is a grotto to seek distraction from a common place. However, all destinations come with a degree of disadvantage and inconvenience and the same can be said about this dwelling. Contained within a bachelor apartment bordering an open area is a wall which adjoins two passages; one that leads to the bathroom on the left and another to the kitchen opposite a glass enclosure of identical

    Kids Korner in Worland has a really crappy layout. It has a room that is open and large, leading down three steps to a smaller area. The smaller area has one dressing room and a door that leads out the back. From the register you can’t see the back room; anyone could just walk out the back door if they pleased. None of the clothes or other items had tags on them to make sure no one stole. You can’t expect much from a second hand store though. While working there we only had two-three people working

My time in Hazor was not easy—wake-up came at 4:00 a.m., and by noontime temperatures were often in the 90s. The dig was sweaty, dusty, back-breaking work. I wore out two pairs of gloves and the knees in several pairs of khakis. Nevertheless, I loved every minute of my time in Israel. I met interesting people from around the world, worked

    Before we could do anything we had to remove the old shingles on the sides of the building as well as the roof and then remove the tar paper underneath. We then took apart the boards until there was only the framing of the building, After taking down the framing we were left with nothing except the foundation which we had to break and crush apart with a steel hoe and then we had to load the large concrete chunks into a trailer and take it to the dump. We had to pull out what ever was remaining and
