Making Quality Introduction

At its core, I suppose this blog is centered around DIY home improvement type projects. From repairs to remodeling, I like to do it myself. My thought is to provide myself with a space to put down my thoughts and ideas, and to hold myself accountable to a high standard of quality with the projects that I get involved in and hopefully some people will find it useful. 

Over the past few years I have developed a philosophy on how to properly put together a successful project. The philosophy is comprised of 4 key tenants: Time, Materials, Tools, and Ingenuity. I'll get into each of these in more depth in subsequent posts, but the gist of it is that some balance of each of these is needed to complete a project, and to make for a great project you need all of them in spades. A deficit in one area can usually be made up for by a focus in another, but not always...

While this all sounds great, I never quite get there when I go about doing my own projects. Rushing through things, using sub-par materials and tools, not pushing myself to be creative and inventive. In this space I will catalog my endeavors, and hopefully uphold my own philosophy.
