By: The Builder's Wife Published on: 23/06/2025In her debut essay for The Discovery Loft, The Builder’s Wife reflects on the unexpected lessons found in wood, nails, and the willingness to change direction. What began as a simple walkthrough of their framed home-in-progress turned into something deeper: a realization that even the most “set” parts of our lives can still be moved.

This piece marks the beginning of her voice inside the Loft, and a quiet reminder that we’re never stuck.
