As a devout "Do it Yourselfer" I designed and built my own house in western NY. It was one of a kind, quite nice, and I miss many interesting things about it. The roof rafters were 16" o.c. 2x10's 26 foot long. Big house.
I also delivered all three of my boys. My wife of 35 years was much more comfortable with me at the "business end" instead of some strange doctor. My thinking was that any guy can start the job.....but a real man finishes it. It was not that difficult...my wife seemed to have the more strenuous job.....it was another DIY project.
My job started more after, as she carried the boys for nine months each...I carried them for like 20 years....My wife prayed for girls, but we got 3 boys. I explained to her that it was like baseball....3 strikes and you are OUT. No more "at bats".....so she prayed for granddaughters and now we have 3 of them....all beautiful and precious.
