"Split your own wood, and it will warm you twice."
~ Old New England Saying ~
I have been doing carpentry- repairing a rotted building and framing windows, and I have learned that carpentry is like life.
Too much is too much, too little is too little, and just right is just right.
Established structures are sometimes rotten and falling apart,
while others are stubborn and take incredible effort to adjust.
Anything can be done,
thought and care and managing risk is required,
and perfection is for the textbooks.
The reward is in the transformation,
old and new can mix graciously together,
carpenter ants and termites can be insanely destructive,
and maintenance matters.
I take care of the structures in my life.
