In 2014 I believe it was, Lee, Craig, another friend and I spent the day
framing a 40 something foot long exterior wall for one of the Bastrop
houses that burned in that fire. Before we raised the wall later in the
day, we measured the diagonals to see how far off we were since a perfectly
square wall would have matching diagonals. Not to brag, but we even
surprised ourselves when the two diagonal wall measurements were within 1/4
inch of one another! Who says good help is hard to find?
