Making Things Right: The Simple Philosophy of a Working Life

Manual labor is about more than just doing things, it's about teamwork and a relationship between skilled workers and their clients. This book is a deceptively simple story about a renovation, told by a master carpenter and contractor that covers everything from the moment he gives an estimate to the day the space is ready to be lived in. It's a story about details, problem solving, and plenty of splinters; but it's also a story about much more like the teamwork needed and the passion for the craft. This is a story about doing a job well and appreciating the joy of seeing labor make a vision take shape.
