Welcome
My name is Eddy, and I build things.
Kitchens. Bathrooms. Software. Furniture. Gardens. Communities.
Thanks for stopping in.
In the Library section, you'll find many of my favourite books, with reviews, and thoughts. Yes, the writing is very small, I'm working on it.
The Links section, will be giving old school internet link page energy, connecting you to interesting (imho) content out there on the web.
The website is prepetual being renovated. Thanks for your understanding.
