I am unfamiliar with this type of construction, seeing that I have lived in the Bay Areas(SF and Monterey) Region of California. Enjoyed the video.
I once developed a system for producing casework, and wrote all the programming, for custom styled system cabinets. What this meant 15 years ago, and what it implies today, has not changed. I was competitive with Home Depot and the high-end showrooms. I proved the system could be profitable and rewarding for all involved.
Why didn't I stick with it? I transcended spiritually to a point where I had to decide what was most important in my family's life: freedom and beauty, or wealth and public respectability? In 1997 we bought a house high in the Santa Cruz mountains and semi-retired. This means we began living each day with sustainability, reverence, humility, and simplicity. My channel grew out of the discovery of purpose as I began awakening.
@carefulcarpenter - thanks for your comments. You know, as I watch this I remember the morning we started this install in Tenn. It was bitter cold, and it had rained hard. The truck slid back and forth up the hill we built it on and we still finished setting it in 48 hours.
Why did we go another direction? Good question..If I had to answer, I'd probably say it was because of circumstances. The housing market crashed. But it was bigger than that, and you know the deeper reasons too.
@pjamesbda Monkey traps work. The monkey grabs hold of the prize and cannot let go-- even when the man with the young tree trunk club comes towards him. LOL!! There are well-positioned men in my town that are well into their 70s and 80s who just cannot tolerate the idea that they should retire and move on. That prize in the monkey trap represents who they worship-- and none desire to be seen publicly as a failure.
To me-- freedom is about risk-taking, self-responsibility, and adaptation.
