Crawling on one's belly among cobwebs and God-knows-what-else under a house within 5 miles of the Hayward fault is one of many reasons to defer structural maintenance. A kindly friend demonstrated the enthusiasm and curiosity necessary to make a good study and to sustain the asanas required for exploration. By the 5th visit (with benefit of lantern, knee pads and elbow pads) what WAS creepy became so spacious and familiar that I could channel my newbie inner film crew.
