Here is my decision.

Okay, I am going to blog about Roofing and fences. Woo-Hoo! Super exciting topic, huh? While I must admit it is not the most thrilling topic I could research, it is definatly the most important topic wighing on my mind right now, so that was my deciding point. I know it is a topic that is chalk full of questions. As I contact different contractors, I am constantly coming up with new questions. I have probably driven one of my co-workers quite insane as I keep asking her all sorts of roofing questions. She has the unfortunate characteristic of having a husband who has been in the home construction business for 20 years. My poor mother and father have also been getting a load of questions. But even with all this experience and advice, I still have a ton of questions that I have to find answers for.

As silly as it is to comment on my own blog, I got distracted by the puppy during my previous blog, and didn't quite say all I meant to say. I was thinking about the "Wondering phase" and how this last blog dealt with all the questions I have on my topic. as Callison says, "questioning seeds all other processes". I can see how important this step is in deciding how I should approach the this topic. While I concede that it is not the most exciting topic, it is very practical and relavate information in my life right now. The roof is needing to be replaced, ergo I need to determine what steps I must take in fixing it.
