National Do-Something Day


A YEAR BEFORE our first child was born we broke ground building our dream home. I was hell bent and determined to have the house fin- ished before we moved in. I swore I wouldn’t be that guy with Tyvek siding and plywood floors. I’d have doors on my cupboards. There’d be trim on my windows. Every nail driven was one nail closer to sitting in our screened-in porch enjoying late sunset dinners. Today, four years after moving in, we have open studded ceilings,


closet doors without knobs and there is a gap between the ceramic tile in the kitchen and the red pine flooring in the dining room. Yes, Cheerios, marbles and dead flies collect there.
