- blogimus 17y agoI agree. If you buy a fixer-upper house, you have an opportunity to get your fill of demolition work and wood chopping through sweat equity. I swear our house helps keeps me in shape. [Edit] : From my home improvement work, I started practicing carpentry using both power and hand tools. A bench plane can be a lot of fun to use.
- stuff4ben 17y agoTotally agree! I just remodeled our kitchen; tore walls down, built news ones up, and installed new cabinets and countertops. It was oddly fun and exhilarating and I never thought it would be. I felt a sense of accomplishment that I had not experienced in quite a while at my day job as a software developer. I don't know, I think I did a pretty good job at the remodeling and I keep thinking about doing it for other people and going into business for myself. Then I wake up and realize I've only done it once and that doesn't make me a master carpenter/installer. But I probably will continue down this path and see where it leads me.
- aswanson 17y agoA few years ago, after my grandfather passed, my grandmother asked myself and a few other men in the family to chop wood for her heater for winter. Got up an early fall Sunday morning and we got to it. We were done before noon and walked into her kitchen where she homemade pancakes, biscuits, and omelets at the ready. I'll never forget the satisfied exhaustion and sweet smell and taste of breakfast that morning.
