BioI don't know about a mini-biography - the subject is almost always the worst author, and I'm no exception. I'll start with the narrow confines of my major project: home improvement.
It's currently the biggest consumer of my life-energy. It's art! It's engineering! It's endless...
So, what's on the agenda?
- An octagonal 800sqft post-and-beam addition with a 200sqft connector to the main house at a 45 degree angle. 800sqft basement, with a 200 sqft crawlspace beneath the connector. Yeah, the angles make it really visually impressive, but also a pain. The major construction is now done, but it is the gift that keeps on giving.
- The existing house - truss contruction on a crawlspace. As time goes by, we will probably rebuild everything. In the meantime, entropy keeps things interesting.
- A rental slum^H^H^H^Hhouse. As an MTU alum, I bought a house so I could be a slumlord to my sisters (Bwahaha!). They've long since graduated, but the house remains. It is also a test house. If something needs to be fixed/improved, and we have a neat new idea, we might try it out there first.
But a journal only covering home improvement? For public consumption, yes, for friends, more stuff. I don't claim it's any more interesting, just more.
