On the road again...

A long day was had by all today, We dropped the kids off, first thing, with Wendy's mom, who graciously agreed to watch them today while we went to meet David. By 8:30am we were all fueled up with coffee and ready to drive.

We met with David and went over what we wanted and the plans I had drawn. He thought that our plans had merit and drew them out for us in FirstDay format, given proper adjustment for headroom and other factors. Then we did some exploration of other ways to incorporate the same ideas in the Cape. This yielded very useful data.

Wendy decided to ask about whether putting the house on a slab is recommended or not. I asked if a basement made more sense in our case, explaining the lay of the land and our reasons for wanting a slab. David made things very difficult at this point by introducing their newest house to us. It is called the Canadian House, as the first folks to build one are in Canada. Now we are back to the tough part - making decisions.


Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
