Timber Coulee, 7 a.m., 48°F, one brown on a size-18 BWO after an hour of nothing. The hour of nothing was the point.

Window sash #31 of 34 reglazed. Karin has asked when the house will be 'done.' I have explained that this is not how houses work.

Before you buy any property, walk it with the survey in your hand and your phone in your pocket. Count the fences. Count the fences again.

Roller-ski training for the Birkie has begun. The neighbours in Oak Park have seen this before and no longer ask.

Closed a lease today for a bakery that has been on the same corner since 1951. New landlord, same rent for five years, option for five more. Some deals you do for the corner.

My daughter the surveyor sent me a 1923 plat she found in a county basement with a note: 'Dad, they drew the creek in the wrong place.' Proudest I've been all year.

Forty-one closings, two years, one difficult conversation. Twelve years on, the Pilsen health centre has 60,000 patient visits a year. Land is never just land.
