i loved the work, and have used my skills in many ways all my life.
mostly point and write checks these days, but i did a gut rehab of a cute little house w a couple of my best friends. didnt swing a hammer, but did design and procurement. used a ton of recycled materials. came out so cute.
got a project going now, but having hella time finding help.
