Preface

Project. Even the word makes me squirm. I have lived in this house for six years now, and that word has plagued me since I moved in. Life has been a constant renovation, until the last few months. That was when I finally gave up. But the projects wouldn't let up. So here I am surrounded by a house that is falling apart, and all I want to do is have a house that doesn't need attention.

I should explain that I am a terrible handyman. I love the deconstruction projects, or the rough work, but I have no eye for detail. And that would probably be fine, were it not for the fact that I have a wife and two (soon to be three) children who deserve better than that. I'm not sure of the exact age of this house, but I don't know of to many homes with sawdust insulation, or knob and spool wiring.
