The Ball is Rolling

Had a meeting with the architect, Graham and the builder, Scott on the weekend... Scott thinks we could start building by August and maybe just maybe have something of substance by xmas time! Obviously we're pumped about this news... I can hardly believe things are coming together! We left the cafe on a high. "I love working with those two guys." was Benji's comment. They're both full of ideas and energy and seem so passionate about their work. Oh and i love it that Scott shows us photos of cycling trips from around the area!

imagine...

Imagine when this is actually real....

...this is what we are bringing to Graham: Benji's model, based on the first lot of drawings...a work in progress but we're getting there!!! ... the pitch on the roof over the northern bank of winter sun windows is less than that of the model in the photo in the post below this one...

Met with the architects, Graham and Sally on Tuesday night... sat out on the deck at the Powerhouse and got the first look at the preliminary drawings...
Benj and i were very impressed... they have really "got" us and what we are trying to achieve... Of course there are a few things to fiddle with and a few changes will have to be made (e.g. making the roof line a little more country homestead and a little less modern) but the general feeling is great! ... we're pretty excited.
Benji is planning on making a balsa wood model this weekend while i am at Eva's ballet gig.
Great to see Graham is back on his feet again after his cardio-pulmonary health issues.
