The Old Play Castle, Healthcare and Simplicity
“KISS/EAF + Simple/Elegant “ – This past weekend, I torn down my son’s old childhood play castle. It had not weathered well over the years and its roof and floor had rotted in – it sadly needed to be taken down. When you take something apart, you learn much about how it was built. As I began pulling at nails and plywood siding, I realized that whoever built this thing was not an experienced carpenter! Geez! I was the one who built it and I am certainly not a craftsman carpenter. The old castle originally looked good, had a secret trap door, a cabinet , closet and a ladder to a small tower. But in its construction, too many nails were used, too many materials and bringing it down took a lot of extra time and effort. As I write this, I am still sore from the effort. What is the lesson to be learned?
