We most treasure the things in our lives that are handmade. On the other hand we take for granted those things that are manufactured to perfection. We will keep a crayon drawing by a child safely stored away for life, and yet a new car no longer thrills us a few weeks after the purchase. When building our homes let us focus on it being handmade... not sloppy or poorly made... but rather with a focus on handcraftsmanship. And don't worry about lack of experience... those beginning the trades have one advantage over the pros... the lack of the ability and compulsion to create extremely precise replicated work, as good as any machine can do.
