I, too, enjoyed your post. There was only one thing, at the very end, that really stood out at me:

so now we're hammering together some trusses to keep your fab dry when it rains

I'm sorry to nitpick, but this just didn't make sense to me. In my mind, the primary purpose of a truss is structural. I guess they can keep rain out in an indirect way (by supporting the roof), but it just seems a bit off. Even still, ++ for the post! :-)

Update: Please keep in mind, I wasn't trying to detract from the point at all. As I said, I enjoyed and I agree with this Meditation. I just thought the phrase "keep the rain out" didn't quite fit. No harm intended.
