No Job Too Odd!
Junction Home Services began in 2003 as Strange Renovations; a name derived from a desire I had to take on unusual projects. In reality, the jobs I embarked upon were not all that out of the ordinary, but each provided insight into the craft, complexity and life cycle of a building project.
I learned that I have different responsibilities when I am the initiator of a project than when I am called in to address another's work. I also learned that doing my best work gives my customers real value that will save them time and money down the road.
My career as a carpenter began in 1989 when I moved into a one-room schoolhouse in Roxana, Delaware. The building was 106 years old at the time and in need of much attention. Slowly I became more and more involved with carpentry until eventually I began to earn my living working with wood. I still live in the house today.
The name Junction was chosen in 2008. I selected it because each home stands upon a junction of its past and future. This is where we live our lives and where the work gets done.

"Your Home Is Our Business"

nice one.
Hey B,
Most of the time, I complete junction posts ahead of time and schedule their publishing time for 12:00 AM the following day.
It is cool that blogger will allow you to schedule posts but when you are previewing them beforehand you see them in a generic template of white rather than in your chosen template.
Consequently, I never really know what the post will look like until I see it in the morning when oftentimes I will tweak it a touch.
This morning I looked at the post, everything looked fine but I thought: "Why can't I just do nothing if I don't know what to do?"
Then I realized I can do nothing as long as I choose it. It is all about making the choice.

I have a hard time believing that anyone could fabricate even one page of bad things to say about you. You are smart and focused and devoted and don’t deserve to be treated like this.
I am very sorry to hear about your predicament. Times are truly hard and in many ways the business world has put on its worst face to cope. (He’s my brother, yes, but he weigh’s a ton and he is not dragging me down with him.)
They smile in your face…
Please allow me to introduce myself…
Stormy Weather.
The conscious act of doing absolutely nothing is actually doing quite a lot, no? I don't know that I have ever been able to succeed in doing nothing. I would assume a lot of people would call my something nothing. I consistantly question my somethings. I made a windmill of beer box and duct tape last night.
I am so sorry to hear Phan's news. There is a lot of imbalance right now. People have forgotten how to be Human Beings, and so many still live in slumber. The "living sleep" seems a fine example of the "unconcious nothing", when doing "nothing" becomes "something". Then again, there can be all sorts of "somethings" in those "nothings".
We are all little engines navigating this map of stormy weather. We all have to keep ours moving.
