All Coming Together....

It's nice to see everything building up prior to the end of this semester. There was a definite lull in progress for a few weeks, but waiting for that right person to be interested paid off. Made for lots of late news, but having someone else involved in the project with the potential of building the design, is inspiring in itself. I'm looking forward to the outcome. Whatever it may be.

I am glad to hear that you were able to find a real project to apply your research to! That is very exciting. Be sure to post more sketches as the design progresses and let me know if I can be of any help.
On your initial visit I suggest that you arrange a meeting with the local building authorities and confirm that the materials that you want to use (and the way that you want to use them) will be approved. I had to convince a building inspector today that adding 2" of rigid insulation to the exterior of a wall is a good idea.
