build my own house (read all 9 entries…)
More Progess 4 days ago

I got the metal roof put on the house this passed Sunday (mostly anyways… still have a few trim pieces to put on, but it’s all sheeted). I’m going to be finishing up the loose ends this week (hopefully) and putting the windows and exterior doors in this weekend. Hopefully the soffitting and siding won’t be that far off. After that, it’ll basically be done on the exterior. I haven’t updated my photos recently, but I’ll try to do so sometime in the next few days.



Get My Master Mason Degree (read all 3 entries…)
Happened Last Night 1 week ago

I was raised as a Master Mason. Took a lot longer to get it sceduled than I originally thought it would. It was a wonderful experience and has opened up a whole different world for me.

Sums up how I feel about life perfectly... 3 weeks ago

“A master at the art of living makes no distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion – he hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues with excellence what he is about and leaves others to determine, whether he is working or playing. He himself always knows, he is doing both.” – Wilfred A. Peterson
