[Cob] birth of the home building professional

[David Knowlton]

this do it yourself thread is cool. my wife the schoolteacher would point 
out
the difference between goal oriented and task oriented.

i am a clerk but trained under a master carpenter one summer - he said - 
follow the steps the way you are supposed to and the results will care for 
themselves...........he was also a judo master, and not terribly Financially 
successful as a tradesman. but he pleased himself.
