Day 77- Windows, Brick, Limestone and Charles Dickens

 "The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists. "
 - Charles Dickens

Don't Tell Apollo.....

Demo work is complete and I meet T. Postal at the house to double check foundation appraisal, I bring Apollo with me for his morning jaunt. He is confused, very confused at the familiar surrounding but remembers how good it feels to sprint into the bamboo....

Claire, thanks for inviting me back over here. Sure looks different without the house
Ya Ted it does, so do you still think we can build on this? How does the foundation look... pulling the I-beams caused a little tear....
Aw, I think its beautiful. absolutely gorgeous. I think this might be the strongest foundation Ive ever seen....they dont make 'em like this.

Dont tell Apollo we are not staying here tonight.....
Double walled foundation: Limestone and  8 " Block
