* jb (the journeyman) I began blogging to spread the word about a new business, also called Building Moxie. But as I got into the groove, I began to write more about the interconnectivy of things, the fundamental reasons for, and the related challenges with performing home projects.

I am reminded frequently that “It” often isn’t as easy as following a how-to recipe! But . . . I do believe that anyone can do, and that the best way to learn to do . . . is to do. Join us here as we stream through home projects, business, life and learning.

* b (the sounding board) Life’s turning points are often the result of an arbitrary choice going on to have a profound and lasting effect. A friend of mine calls this The whim becomes a way of life.

One such whim for me was moving into a dilapidated, century-old schoolhouse in my early twenties. Without this house, where I still live, I most probably would not have become a carpenter, and, later, would not have associated with this blog.
