Forgot to mention ... one of the builders in Tracy Kidder's "House", Jim
Locke, who "epitomizes true craftsmanship", subsequently wrote a book called
"The Well Built House", that is equally, if not more important, to those
ever wanting to practice beating themselves over the head by doing so.
HIGHLY recommended also, as just a damn good read for most wooddorkers.
