Please do NOT contact me unless you are realistic about pricing!

I will give examples of people who are not:

• The last person to contact me requested a multi-story lighthouse shed that would be larger than some real lighthouses. He offered to pay $7000 to $10,000 for such a "shed." It took me less than a millisecond to decline his offer because the materials for such a project would cost more than that! Furthermore, to build a shipping crate for this enormous object and ship it 1000 miles to his home would probably cost at least another $10,000 (the "shed" would be too large to fit in a standard semi). To top it off, it would take over a year to build this "shed," so for the privilege of building it, I would lose $10,000 or more.

• Another man offered $7000 for the shed pictured on the home page of this site. The materials for that shed are about $4000, and it took 7 months to build it. Sorry, but I won't work 7 months for $3000. If you will, and you have the same knowledge, level of skill, and extensive collection of tools that I do, please contact me so I can offer you a job.

I referred both men to Home Depot or Lowes, which sell sheds that are more in line with their cookie-cutter budgets.

Unless you have built a structure that is primarily curved (conical, cylindrical, or hemispherical), you probably have no conception of how difficult and time-consuming it is to make one. To do it with precision and an uncompromising attention to detail is even more challenging. An average professional builder could not build a lighthouse shed like mine, nor would he even try. The math skills required to build a typical rectilinear "box" home are straightforward, but the math skills required to build a structure with intersecting conical, cylindrical, and hemispherical sections is substantially more formidable. I had years of math in college as part of my pre-med curriculum, and even more math in medical school, yet none of that prepared me for building the lighthouse shed. I spent weeks searching thousands of math sites to find the equations I needed. Perhaps that dedication to "doing things right" is why my lighthouse shed sustained no damage from a tornado strong enough up uproot and snap adjacent trees almost 3 feet in diameter.

MySpamSponge is a site I developed that anyone can use to block all of their spam, but never any legitimate messages. With MySpamSponge, you communicate using handles instead of e-mail addresses. A handle is essentially a contact code that gives people a way to contact you via e-mail without you having to reveal your e-mail address. Similarly, you can send a message by using the recipient's handle as the address (mine is lighthouseshed).

In addition to blocking spam, MySpamSponge:

• helps protect your privacy.

• gives you a new way to communicate via the Net.

• enables you to freely leave your contact info anywhere without worrying about spammers.

• makes Internet dating free & gives you new ways to meet offline, too!
