Local arts institution Charlie Stagg is engaged in building a dwelling out of cans at his home in Vidor. Stagg works on the structure whenever weather permits and hopes it will be ready by February. The mason jars in the wall,left, form a window that, when the lids are removed, will let light into the room.
