A chromogenic print depicting a black-and-white image of four people outdoors in an open space building an A-frame structure from wooden 2x4s and plywood. The man at center, John Wiebenson, stands on a milk crate holding plywood against the 2x4 frame. Two others, faces obstructed, do the same. A fourth swings a hammer. A fifth person squats holding a camera to capture the proceedings. A final person stands with his back to the camera while looking to a piece of paper in his left hand. There are scattered trees in the background. The photograph is dry-mounted on Fome-Cor.
