Periodical 17 – Optimization

I’m frequently reaching for tools as there’s always something to repair, update, or make in this old house. It’s surprising how much of a difference it makes to simply reach for it rather than squat down and rummage through a bin or drawer.

Optimizing a home is a years-long process. You must closely watch for patterns in how you move about it; how you use things within it; how surfaces wear and age; how light and dark, heat and cold come and go; how things sound.
