WHY BUILD?
Because I am a girl, and girls build.
- It is in my genetics.
- Nothing smells better than fresh cut wood.
- I’d rather be wearing work boots than high heels.
- Real women wear tool belts.
- I would rather move than sit.
- I would rather be outside than inside.
- I love working with my hands.
- Power tools excite me.
- It gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
- It’s very challenging, and I love a challenge.
- It makes my brain work hard, and utilizes my math skills.
- I can be my own handyman.
- I am determined to follow my dreams.
- My brother will be so proud.
- Because I am a girl, and girls can do anything.
A few shots of the items that now fill my former office (turned workshop)…thanks in part to all my 40th birthday Lowes and Home Depot gift certificates…
Thanks to my belated brother Derek for leading the way. He was a talented carpenter who was passionate about his craft, and I am humbled and honored to have received many of his tools after he passed away. In fact, those are his overalls and tool belt I have on in the picture above. THANKS DEREK!
