Log:
The day was centered around preparing for the pre-charrette meeting. In order to best utilize the architect’s time at the charrette, we met with various steering committee and community people familiar with the construction business to draft a list of questions and ideas.
Also we’re one step closer to deconstructing the bamboo shed. After removing rebar and bamboo supports we used a come-along and rope to gently pull the bamboo shed to a soft landing on its side. The morning was amusing because we had three video cameras to document the falling of the shed. The process went smoother than we had imagined, no one was hurt and a lot of the bamboo from the shed roof is in salvageable condition.
Another difficult conversation with a friend from home. Sigh. It’s especially challenging to experience a shift in relationship dynamics when I’m so distanced.

Questions:
-What is a French drain?
-How do you site a house?
-How can I balance my home life with my CA life?
