Part 1: A new wife, a new life, and the pride a family has for its members...
This is an interesting time in my life, for sure. A month ago today I got married, and now, the day we will be celebrating that tiniest of milestones, I have let the motivation of my new wife and her family guide me into sharing my passion for woodworking with the rest of the online community.

We’re crazy excited to be home owners, but there have been quite a few challenges. We got a good price in a nice area of a decent part of the country, but our new home needs work.
