From mkd's newsletter:

Time to break out those gumdrops and some icing glue because ‘tis the season for gingerbread houses! This year, however, why not put a green twist on this great holiday tradition? We’ve created a recipe for creating your very own gingerbread Lotus or, as we like to call it, gingerLotus. Aside from being a fun and delicious holiday activity, we think this project is an excellent way to start acquainting children with the ideas of sustainability and green living. It’s never too early to begin teaching your kids to be concerned for our environment and training them how to respect and protect it through everyday actions. This time of year is such a fun and exciting one for children; what better way to engage them in greening then by integrating it into your family’s holiday traditions. We hope you’ll find the results yummy in every way!

Here's the next installment. I'm having a lot of fun watching this exciting process. It's inspiring and starting to look like a great place to live.

Outta here! 2 days total!

Work continues at the site, so I'll try to keep pace with the assembly which is really moving along. Here are a couple of shots taken over two days featuring the crane and the unloading of the two story home from trailers driven from Washington.

Here is a house under construction not too far where I live. I am also interested in a Michelle Kaufmann design so I've been driving by it from time to time to check it's progress. I don't think the owners would mind me taking photographs but since I don't know for sure I'll keep the location secret (suffice to say that it is in California). I am pretty sure it is one of the Glidehouse designs.

The studio would go on the rear footprint, and the main two- story house plus breeze-way will go in the middle.
