Several days ago, I was on magical Mt. Desert Island in Maine. I was visiting my daughter and granddaughter. Seven years have passed since I helped build her quaint three-story home with an attached garage. I was the plumber, electrician, and radiant heat installer.

My daughter is very talented when it comes to design. She wrote an in-depth book about things you should consider both inside and outside your home. The book is titled “Meghan’s Method.” She hand-drew all the illustrations.
