My Dad likes to work with wood.
Growing up, he was forever, cutting, sanding, and nailing things into place. If Mom needed a new laundry room cabinet--he would build it himself, always making sure to tell us, “Why spend $100 on something I can build for $50?”
When I was 10, he moved beyond furniture and household repair and into new construction. He decided to turn our two-car garage into living space--a bedroom, laundry room, full bath and mud room—and added a new garage onto the end of that.
