About Me:
I'm a 60 year old woman who didn't know she was getting old. My brain says I am not. I designed and built my own home over about a 20 year period of time.At 31 years old I became a single mom with two kids a couple of years into the house project. I learned how to do just about everything that involves building a house, from framing, roofing, sheetrock mudding,painting, electrical, some plumbing, tile work, ...you get the picture. My landscaping design work could use some help LOL if it's flower beds one is thinking about. I turned my whole front yard into a produce garden and small orchard. I've got some animals a great dog, cat and some chickens, ducks and one turkey,and the kids are grown and gone. Hobbies,I enjoy photography and art and cross pollenating plants. So this is a quick short about me.
Favorite area of home improvement:
New roof, finish front flower beds, really the list is endless if you live in a place as long as I have been here!
