Craftsmanship

Craftsmanship: when your task is humble, but your work endures.

Here is a simple drain at Skipton Castle in North Yorkshire, dated 1659.  None of the downspouts on any home in which I have ever lived would have lasted this long.  Nor were they so carefully wrought.  I guess I'm also not nobility, and thus don't pay for this kind of quality.  Still, I find myself resonating with this simple work, as someone who tries his best to deliver quality in every hidden nook and corner as part of my own work.
