The entire time I'm building this, I'm thinking about my next door neighbor when I was stationed at Hill AFB. He was a GS-XX acquisition poohbah for the Ogden depot and was a general contractor who built houses as a side business. He once said to me (paraphrasing from memory)"Well you know why I build houses don't you? I like the feeling of actually getting something done".
