Construction continues.  All kinds of parts and pieces are coming together.  No epiphanies on anything else because I’m too busy working in Texas heat to think of anything else. Continue reading Even More Construction

Construction continues, every day.  If I’m not doing client work or sleeping, then I’m probably working on the trailer.  I figured it’s about time for a photo dump here to show some of the projects I’ve been working on. Continue reading More Construction

I haven’t been posting much because I’ve been too busy with construction.  So, since I don’t have any new insights to share, I figured I might as well share some photos. Continue reading Construction Update
