at last!

After years of scheming, dreaming and anticipating, the "Great house addition of 2011" kicks off tomorrow. As planned, the new living space will be modeled after the Eames house with a few rather significant modifications for the realities of life north of 60.

Plans are finally afoot for a rather substantial addition to our house. Come next spring, we'll be adding a whole new structure pretty much replicating the main living space in the marvelous Eames house, aka Case Study House number 8. Don't quite know how we'll pull off any kind of R-value out of all those windows, but that's just pesky details.
