DescriptionThis image depicts the exterior of an unidentified house in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A man is working to line the exterior of the house in chicken wire. Under the wire is black asphalt felt paper that covers the house. The worker is currently nailing chicken wire along the underside of an open window. The man is wearing dark colored jeans, a light-colored hat, and a light-colored shirt. A small pile of wood scraps and other garbage can be seen at the man's feet. Back and to the left of the man is a small tree that is barely taller than the worker.
