Welcome to the special fine home building podcast, the Keep Craft Alive podcast, conversations with skilled, passionate trades people about their work.

By igniting a passion for the trades, Keep Craft Alive is helping to close the skills gap. Here's Rob Yeaget,

hosted the Keep Craft Alive podcast.

Hey, this is Rob Yaget, and this is the Keep Craft Alive podcast, where I introduce you to some of the

most talented and passionate individuals who are shaping a residential design and building scene.

I meet many of the people I speak with through fine home building, and their work to inform and empower those who design, build, and remodel.

Guests on the show will include builders, architects, consultants, tradesmen and women, educators, building scientists,

and pretty much anyone who is upholding the values of true craftsmanship in an effort to build better homes and a better building

community. With the Keepcraft Live program, we've partnered with industry organizations

and our network across the country to build awareness of the professional opportunities in the

residential construction industry. And we fund student scholarships to support those who want to

pursue careers in the trades with our partner skills USA.

If you want to help support the next generation of craftsmen and women, visit keepcraftolive.org

for more information and to donate to the cause.

And feel free to reach out to me directly by dropping a note to info at keepcraftalive.org.

Today's episode is a good one, and I hope it inspires some thought

and reflection on how we can all help keep craft alive. Thanks for tuning in. All right,

Anna Heath, here we are. How are you? I'm good. Thanks for having me. Yeah, thanks for being here.

I really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day and having a bit of a chat with me. Where are you calling in from today? I'm at my house. I'm in Norway, Maine, and I'm chilling with my kitty. I had four hours on the job site this morning, and I'm taking a break. Nice.

Good for you.

So for people who don't know where Norway, you know, Maine's a big place, right?

Where's Norway located?
