What does "two-by-fours" mean?
No two (bamboo) poles alike, no straight lines, no two-by-fours here. The tried-and-true, well-crafted formulas and vocabulary of architecture do not apply here.
I suppose that "two-by-fours" could mean the area of timber which is 2 meters in one direction and 4 in the other, and there are lots of them. Do you think so?
Thank you.
