Voyage the House


Voyaging the House as if it is a sailboat... sort of...


Let's assume I was out cruising.  Upon reaching a port, launching the dinghy and going for a row would be a normal activity.  We don't cruise anywhere so we load the dinghy onto the back of my pickup truck and drive to a scenic place, launch and go for a row.  Missing from the cruising experience is the pleasure I derive from working on the boat.  Instead, we have the pleasure of working on the house.  Houses and their grounds are a lot of work made easier by the number of stores selling house maintenance goods.  Also, houses are more standardized in design and construction, building codes are helpful in that regard.  Boats require more ingenuity and imagination and, I believe, are much less work in the end.
