Well made it official this morning, going to start building a house in this wretched economy.. however I am doing it with a large twist.. supplying the labor myself with family to help. This will be the third complete home or cabin that I have helped construct, however this one I get to call all the shots and spend all the money I guess. Love hate type of proposition I see.
Not going real big, just 40 x 62 with a 36×26 attached garage.. straight design with little quirks here and there. I hope that the economy turns around in the next 24 to 36 months, but taking little risk in this adventure.
Home Depot and Menards will probably be happy.. checking and savings account not so much.

Figured a little introduction on myself for my first very blog might be worthy of a couple of minutes of time.
I am a slightly jaded fellow; I am one that looks at things from the least obvious angle in most facets of life. My jading isn’t pointed at life itself, but in perspective of choices made by myself at different moments in my life. Albeit I thoroughly enjoy where life has lead me, I always seem to have this ever present chip on my shoulder that eats at my thoughts.
I am one of the happiest carefree people you could ever want to cross paths with, never one to seek out a disagreement of any sort. Most times, I go out of my way to help a fellow person out in various aspects of life. Being neither the most exciting nor spontaneous person on the planet, my thoughts and actions are calculated, measured and rational for the most part.
Ever the addictive personality I possess; not that of drugs, cigarettes, or booze; but of the abstracts in life in which I consume rapidly. Addictions come in many shapes and forms, a few of mine are my kids, football, video games, and internet forums. A couple of others that come and go in streaks, are hunting, fishing and turning a wrench on the weekends.
Why Graphite thoughts, since that is the title of this little diddy. I happen to be a man that depends on graphite and metal to amble about this life. Tis one of the choices I spoke about earlier, but happens to be one of the least weighted chips on the shoulder.
Enough of an introduction to start I suppose… check back for more provoking thoughts in the future as I am not really proficient at describing myself.
