Summary:
Scene of a man standing at a sawhorse with one leg lifted up onto the log which he is sawing. He is wearing a white shirt, a vest, and a black hat. He is standing in a pile of sawdust within a wood building which is falling apart: walls are torn off, holes adorn the roof and walls. There are logs and pieces of plywood strewn all around him. There are also several objects lying about: a ladder, wood crates, buckets, a green bike, a barrel, and other tools.
