The design committee for Plan A is meeting tonight. In anticipation, I took out two books form the library...one on woodworking with power tools, the other on alternative building materials. They both look to be about 20 years old. Paul has his ticket. So do Mike and Rebecca. We all went to a Band of Horses concert last night, marred only by ticketing and towing. Thats my crew though yo, and we are going south to make a house. Dad and Lynn are looking to come down...well its hard to tell when since they dont need to purchase a ticket in advance. Dad still weilds some post avaition benefits.

Nothing happening still on the project. I am waiting, contentedly, under the bhodi tree.

Oh, I read about teak and cedar as building materials today. Really interesting. Teak can be hardened by burying it under ground for a few years. temples in Thailand, over 500 years old, and exposed, uncared for, to the elements, are still standing and the teak is in great condition. I guess Guillermo was right about teak as a building material. Its a great choice. Aparently, the walls of Plan B, and maybe Plan A, are going to age into a silver grey. The roof will be blue. Still not sure that Corten steel is the right product for the tower, but all three proposed materials were red/pink/orange in hue and will be a wonderful counterpoint.

Ok, more later.
