I noticed an awning support outside our kitchen window was rotting. I thought, I can do this!
After measuring, I went to Aserradero Rocha in nearby Pinamar, where you can rummage through off-cuts for any length of wood you need, an unusual and welcome feature.
Leaning against the window is a temporary support pole I kluged together. The little piece at the top the remaining length of the piece of lumber I purchased for the project…which I find oddly satisfying.
