Slow, slow, slow progress

Since my last post I have attended a full day seminar at Home Base in Subiaco for potential, "Owner Builders". To be honest it was a bit of a wakeup call to hear all that building a house entails and whilst not completely frightened off, I certainly have even more reservations than I did before.

Still as they say nothing ventured nothing gained.

Late yesterday afternoon I caught up with architect/structural engineer, Peter Auer, who is a complete environmentalist...so much so he used his bike to get to my place. That doesn't seem too extreme, except he lives at least a 40 minute ride away and left my place quite late. I didn't envy him his ride home.

Still I look forward to seeing what he envisages for my small suburban block, quite a far cry from the wind farm he has recently been involved in constructing down in the South West corner of our State.
