In our house in Wisconsin we had a library. We’re talking floor to ceiling (10’) shelves and raised panel oak walls. I built the whole thing myself. It was beautiful. When we moved I looked at the literally thousands of books we had and said, “There is no way I am moving all of these 1200 mi

Well Kaleb, if I was in your situation where I had a place to work and store/accumulate stuff, I would just prioritize what needed to be done and commit time to doing it. I’m realistic enough to understand that that much stuff can’t be done in a short time. Around here i usually have one day a

Sorry, dude, I just can’t handle having things that “aren’t done”. Looking at a sidelined car would just make me crazy. There is a flip side to that, and it’s being so focused on something like this that everything else gets pushed aside. Not always a good thing. -D > On May 17, 2017, at 1
