I glued on roofs posts, to later hold some barbed wire defences:
they would later come back to haunt me

I made a big mistake by using rubbery/weak glue for the perimeter fencing
the 'barbed wire' I used was too stiff and pulled them down
the build spiralling out of control
I was so distraught, I stopped construction altogether for about 2 weeks
terrifying days

I started to fabricate 'real' barbed wire on a nano-scale. Basically I made DNA
here's a pic using an electron microscope, I made the right decision to stop production
