What's Next
I made a decision about my desires to restore this house as "THE" restoration project of my life. I have more than enough obstacles in my life to destroy this dream. Repair of the brick work alone is intimidation aplenty to destroy my faith.
(By the way, that old K-5 Blazer belongs to my son Sam and is available for sale. It is a great restoration project for the right person and can be had for a good price.) I want to document my state of mind throughout the restoration of our house. Time has passed since my decision and my euphoria has cleared. The enormous task shows no movement. But I can't go weak in the knees now.
I went to my files to post what little I have in the way of drawings related to the work I desire to perform and none of them were in an acceptable format to publish here. I wanted to post a story describing in detail what I plan to do. I drew a blank. I have experienced a great thrill to learn how thought is clarified and condensed through the process of writing and rewriting and rewriting some more. So I have discovered a roadblock to my creative process. I posses only a vague idea of my desire to restore this house. No concrete plans to speak of. I will have to learn how to produce drawings which can be published to my blog if I am to show progress. This is relatively easy, because I now know what to do next. I theorize that by forcing myself to produce clear-cut plans, other opportunities will arise that will help me to start solving all the problems which stand in my way. I will receive strength to overcome the hurdles. My way will be made clear to me. I hope this information will be helpful to you. I pray I may be quickened in mind, body and spirit.
