Our Rock

Derek Leave a Comment

In caring for a house, I have made one surprising discovery: Houses are anything but still. They look still. They look stable and immovable. But it’s not true! There’s a reason why they call house care “upkeep,” because you have to keep the house up! It is always falling down in one way or another. Winds ruffle and rip its shingles. Rain rots its seals.
