As we reflect on two years of the In the House podcast, Michael and I discuss how our faith impacts our values in the construction industry. We talk about being good stewards of the client’s resources and how having a servants heart can enhance your business. Finally we recap these two years by reading a quote from the very first episode, "The man in the arena." We hope you enjoy this episode, if you do please share the podcast with a friend. Thanks for listening!

Today on In the House, I speak with Brett and Naomi Jimison, who left their home in California in search of freedom in the great state of Texas. With no prior building experience, Brett and Naomi decided to build their house out of solid limestone. We discuss why they made the choice to use limestone over wood framing and how the house performs in the summer and the winter. We also discuss the reason for documenting their build on Youtube as well as their five step guide to get started building your own limestone home.
