I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.

No it wasn’t.
It started with finding my drill, so I could move a 16 foot 2×10 around to the back of the house. I managed that part but lost the bit and socket to drive the lag bolts in. I searched and I prayed as I fed hundreds of mosquitos. I was smart I wore long pants but a short sleeve shirt. Ok ok, I was half smart. On the way back to look for the bit and socket, I put on a jacket meant for early winter.
Fewer bites but way more sweat. The pants were already too hot. I didn’t find my bit, I found another. Now I just needed to figure out how I was going to lift an 80-pound board and get the first lag screw in, by myself.
It got done, eventually, I found a level, levelled it the best I could and proceeded to sink more lag screws to hold up the main board attached to the wall. An hour and many more bites later the first board was up.
Soaked in sweat, faint from the loss of blood to squitos, kidding. I put my tools inside locked the doors, made my way back to my bed and typed these words.
ya I know I need to get rid of the reno Debris
