Building your own house is a primal urge, one of those universal genetic drives like the need to provide for your family.

Building your own home is about desire, fantasy. But it's achievable; anyone can do it.

Building design isn't trendy.

Awesome is loud but awe is quiet.

I spend a frightening amount of money on books.

I don't want anything that I buy to have done any harm to anyone or anything.

I like the absurd and the surreal: the Coen brothers, Bunuel, Kubrick.
