Natural-born engineer

Steve Adams – Inventor, engineer, philosopher. The log house I grew up in was built we think in the 1700s. It was a well built house, and my parents had updated it. There was a large open fireplace for heating and cooking, which was replaced by a forced air furnace in the 70s. We did not have AC. My bed room was always cold in winter and hot in summer. The spring and fall provided annoyances! I would go to bed hot, and wake up at 2:00 AM to close the windows and put more blankets on. This was a pain. When I was around 12, I got to fed up and created a system that would close the windows when the room temperature hit 66 degrees, or by manual override when I felt like closing them. To me it was a practical solution. But to my parents, it was worthy of showing off the all the people who came to visit. Many years after I left home, my interns often asked me how I knew I would be an engineer? But I’ll leave that answer to you.
