I've been seeing quite a lot of construction lately of rather tall wood framed buildings here built with engineered lumber. Four and five story apartment complexes, sometimes sitting on top of a one or two story reinforced concrete parking garage. (Or if you're one tier of states north, a parking ramp.) The overall effect is actually kinda medieval or renaissance when viewed under construction.

(We went and built a skyscraper seven stories high . . . that's about as high as a building oughta go . . . And don't get me started on our burlesque shows . . . Among other kinds of nerd I am, a musical nerd I am, too.)

Also hopefully some nice pics of a local over-the-top Xmas light display . . . soon (TM).
