One reason to build a house

One of the answers to the common question, "why are you building your own house?"
has to be these photographs. How else could I put up the trim behind the silo and then lay on the roof, watch Candian geese fly buy and soak up the April sun as it nears the horizon?
The second photo is another in the long line of my self portraits that aren't necessarily obvious. That's my "keep the sun off of my head and ears" hat in the shadow. Nope, I am not Amish.
