Start
The project too vast
To complete in a mere day,
I hated to start,
So I said, “I’ll drive one nail,”
And in no time, it was done.

Thanks, BD. One correction: Dad wasn't adding a room to the house. He was building the entire house on a lot he'd purchased.
Oh, and also: Mom had a hand in building the house as well.
But you got the most important detail exactly right. Dad's philosophy has kept me going throughout the years. In fact, it was the one memory of him that I shared with friends and family at his recent memorial service.
