Joanna Gaines Quote

Back in the late 1800s, when a place like this was originally built, you had to work with what you had, and you had to figure stuff out. You certainly couldn’t Google it. You didn’t have Internet. You didn’t even have how-to books. You had to sit there and wrestle with it. You found this old spare part, you did this other thing, you hooked it up to a donkey, and you tried it out.Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn’t. But eventually you’d pop out on the other side and say, I’ve got this.Call me old-fashioned, but I’ve always solved problems like that.-Chip Gaines
