Finished my cross made of wood today. It was supposed to take 30 minutes if you had the right equipment which I don't and work on it constantly which I didn't. All told probably 3-4 hours spread over 3 weeks. It is 14 inches long, 4 wide.
Now I don't know what to do with it. It might be too fragile to hang. But it is finished.

I was passing through some street and some kids with their bikes were looking at this old house. They talked to me about the house and I said I had no idea if someone still lived there.
Then they started to say that I was going to help them to enter the house. I didn't know if someone was there but then I went into the lower level of the place and only found burned trash and used condoms (?). Probably a place where some crack addict use for prostitution and using drugs. There was also some rags on the windows, as if someone used the house for sleeping or using drugs.
Then I went to the upper level of this house and saw some weird stuff. The house was completely burned. There was burned clothes, a burned spring bed, burned vinyls, and even a burned notebook with something that looked like a teenager/child writings. I wonder if the house started to burn so fast that nothing could be taken from there and if someone died on the fire, as the house seemed abandoned.
There was also a microwave thing on this chair, like if someone found it inside the house and planned to sell to someone. Then I went to this garage and there was some really weird stuff there: a skull sculpture into some window looking towards the street, some weird glass thing right on the ground in the front door of the house.
As if someone was doing some african religious ritual out on this house (those things exist in Brazil), they were making rituals for Exu (the messenger god/crossroads god in african religious tradition, represented as the devil in african/catholic syncretism in Brazil)
I only took this photo inside the house:
The kids entered the house with me and started to scream and argue with each other and I just leaved the place and went home.
