When I was in my 20s, I used to love a good house project. Erin and I have tackled some big ones over our 11 years as home owners, but I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t enjoy them anymore. Today, I spent 5 1/2 hours putting a new cedar roof on the shed. The only redeeming factor was the realization that it would have cost me so much more $$$$ to hire someone else to do it.

Sure, I still enjoy the feeling of accomplishment and the taste of a cold beer after working outside in 90 degree heat, but I’d much rather be doing anything but hammering nails into cedar planks on top of a black roof on the hottest day of the year. Serves me right for putting it off I guess
