Building a Home


From fixing doors, to building homes

dad you always know what to do.

The master of creating, the master of building.

 You can fix any leaky pipe, any broken window 

or any hole in a wall. 

 

But when it comes to building our home 

there is much that is unknown. 

Which door should I choose? 

Should I keep these windows or find others?

You never really did leave us in the gutter.

 

I know the holes and leaky pipes are hard to fix alone,

But all you have to do is ask. 

We will help you build this home 

Because this home is ours and not just yours alone.
