Yesterday was a beautiful spring day. The sun was shining in a crystal blue sky. The breeze was blowing softly, the birds were singing and the jackhammers were pounding the old concrete slab into oblivion.
Yesterday was the first day of construction on the studio renovation in Orient. I met with the contractor, and we discussed all the site issues. It was so invigorating for me to get out of the office and into the nitty gritty of a project.
We were in the crawl space looking at the waste lines, out on the street looking at the LIPA poles, discussing the location of the new supply well, the dispersion well for the geothermal heat, the septic lines, the electrical supply to the house and studio, and the water lines for both buildings. How in the world are we going to keep them all the necessary distances away from each other and the house, the studio and the trees? Architecture is like a life size puzzle that is constantly changing shape. I love puzzles.
