We have our construction loan closing date which is next week, but our contractor is getting excited about this and wants to start taking down the tree that will block our carport. Even if the whole thing falls apart for now, eventually we'll still need a carport that doesn't have a tree growing through the middle of it. We met him this afternoon to make sure we were all talking about the same tree; none of us want any unnecessary tree deaths.
This has been an interesting time to start this sort of odd house. There's not much doing, construction-wise around here, and so our contractor has really been studying up on Frank Lloyd Wright. Pat, during the lazy days of early summer, made a 3-D model of the house. The grandsons were tickled with it because they could lift up the roof and see the tiny graph paper rooms. They even donated one of the their matchbox red convertibles to be glued under the little cardboard carport.
Pat thought he was just having fun, but when we went to see the structural engineer in Gibsonsville, we took the model to show and he asked to keep it for reference.
And, I was wanting to get a photo of it to post here, but I think we have lost it to the contractor who studies it at night...
