for all the twists & turns it took to get here, i'm quite content with my smalltime solo general contractor lifestyle. tools are toys and any given job is just a game of skill and problem-solving: you set an objective, overcome obstacles, and every time you cross the finish line it smells like victory. if craft isn't fun, why do so many do it as a hobby? whether art for art's sake or home improvement, there's satisfaction and pride in accomplishing tangible tasks. today, on a job for a neighbor in my building, a little light demolition revealed this message from the previous owner, a Boeing engineer proud enough of his little bathroom remodel to sign his work. i chuckled at that, having left scores of my autograph buried in walls across seattle over the past 15 years. yes, winning is sweet... but sometimes there's a rematch. |
