build a crooked house

No way. 

We will not build a crooked house.  I'm a firm believer in measuring twice and cutting once but Himself is fanatic when it comes to square and plumb and level. 

And exact.

Himself builds well. 

Some might say he overbuilds but he says "this will never come down in my life time!"

And it won't.  It won't fall down and it won't be pulled down.

I think it would take a bulldozer.

And that's the way it is.

We have undone a couple of things.  We did them well the first time.  We just did not do them perfect or exact.  Then we undid them and did them right.  If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!   

And that's the way it should be.

Himself has an eye like a lazer level.

I'm pretty good at seeing straight, plumb and level but I'm rookie next to him. 

There he is standing in the bedroom. 

And there he is checking his work at the end of the day.  He's in the living room looking towards the back door.  I'm getting ready to climb the stairs. 

This is the loft.  He's started wiring.  We hope to get a plumber in soon so we can get the bathroom plumbed and usable.  We are debating about hiring an electrician.  Himself thinks he might be able to do the wiring.  I'm betting he can.  Meanwhile . . .

We are having fun.  

We are learning a bunch.

Looking forward to days and weeks at the cabin in Mo. 

Someday.
