Silver lining, I will get to show off my carpentry skills again. I love working with my hands, fixing things, and a well planned and finely crafted bit of construction is as much a work of art as a Van Gough to me. Now admittedly things do not always work as they should and with this house I have had to get quiet creative with some of the repairs. To some this is pretty low brow and not art at all. But it is. It's functional art. And there is a lot of fine art out there where you can see the history of how the artist got to their final peice in the final peice. The flaws, the eraser marks, the paint overs that show through... These little imperfects not only show enginuity but are what make the art interesting, fresh, and perfect in its own way. My home, like my art, reflects this. I am equally as proad of the patched drywall as I am of the latest digital peice.
Obviously, I didn't build the closet or this collapse would not have happened. But now I get to rebuild it bigger, better, stronger, faster....
Hopefully it doesn't cost a million dollars to do so. ^^;
