Many sheets of plywood

It took many sheets of plywood to cover the windows at this un-used elementary school.

Over at Shorty’s place

Check out those window’s at Shorty’s! It’s plywood! Let’s just go ahead and add this to the plywood collection that already includes Anton, Snyder, Plainview, and Snyder again.

And if you want to know more about plywood, or nearly any other building material, I’d recommend that you read The Walls Around Us, by David Owen. It’s really not as boring as it sounds. (You can learn about plywood on pages 59-64, a page count which may weaken my not-as-boring-as-it-sounds argument.)
