Hi.
Looking through the other blogger bios for a sense of what I should write here didn’t really help – most had no bios. Those who did have a bio, had something staid and work related. I don’t work in the residential construction field so the resume route wasn’t going to work.
So here goes: I am a queer, latino man from an immigrant, working-poor background whose interest in homebuilding is as much about living my principles as about having a structure to live in. I reside in VT with my husband (that’s allowed here) and our pug Juniper. I am a frustrated writer and a novice homebuilder – so let’s hope for the best. My wish is to write blog entries that inform, challenge, and occasionally, make you smile – like right now.
