Caption under photo and extending under E reads "For Firewood".

E — Photograph, two men in hats, button—down shirts, and dark—colored pants working among wood pilings and rock fill. Man closer to camera has his back three—quarters toward photographer; he rests left hand on a crosscut saw and, with his right, holds the handle of presumably another tool. Second man is facing photographer but turning head in proper right direction, toward boards and pilings. Both men lean forward. (For caption, see D.)

Rock fill slopes downward away from photographer, under buildings. Dump truck with tipped bed facing proper left is backed up to top edge of slope; a man stands between truck bed and photographer with his back to the camera.

Rock fill under most houses, though some (particularly two nearest photographer, at proper right and proper left edges) still have exposed pilings. White house in background with dark car, facing proper right, parked in front of it. Hillside visible behind houses.
