“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” – Carl Sagan

There’s something really special about building something from scratch.  Sure, in a sense, we’re all standing on the shoulders of those who came before us and few things are well and truly new and unique.  But it is a true craftsman who learns a skill and puts that skill to good use making something where there was nothing before, whether it is cutting a file from raw steel or making a fine table out of oak timbers.

Today I begin the process of building a new home on the INterWebz for addlightness.com.  Please bear with me as I learn a new skill.
