I had worked my way through a thousand problems, like when the tar paper bulged on the corners so I used a strap wrapped around the whole house and ratcheted it tight to attach the trim; I had figured that out without using a book, and that was just one of a bunch of ideas that had saved the day.

I like the way the little house was taking shape, and the way it seemed to double-dog dare me to step in... move in.
