A reader named Mr. Whitby of Garden Flat 3 writes: ‘We cut 27 holes in our main dwelling. Is this excessive?’ Mr. Whitby, you are living in a colander, and we envy you.
Structural integrity declines roughly 4 percent per hole after the sixth, so by our arithmetic you are at a stately minus 84 percent. The good news is that a box with no integrity at all has a certain freedom. It can fold, slump or mate with a nearby paper bag. Our recommendation: stop at 31, tape the edges, and tell the neighbours it is a deliberate commentary on privacy.
