The plateau at first glance seems to be entirely free of wildlife. There are miles of nothing but sagebrush and native grasses no taller than your waist. You can scan from horizon to horizon and see little but a few hawks, crows and mountain bluebirds that thrive in the New Mexican desert. But the birds presence tells the true story. Where there are crows, and especially hawks, you know that wildlife thrives below.
I’ve lived in many different houses in my life but they all share one thing in common - they were built by somebody else. I’ve adapted myself and my lifestyle to the somewhat limited vision of architects, designers and builders who were more interested in selling a house and making a profit than building a home.
I took a brief hiatus from posting to focus on some other projects, but hopefully I can now get back to regular posting. I see from the lack of responses that my property tax idea didn’t go over so well. I was hoping to stimulate some dialog on the issue but perhaps everyone gets enough debate on issues like the economy and the government spending elsewhere. With that behind us, today I want to talk about something more pertinent to the subject matter - choosing a construction technique.
