Hello all,
Gabel, your building philosophy has some great points. I'm often inspired by the people who frequent this forum.
Your post illustrates many parallels to my philosophy - I could just say "yeah, what he said...", but thought I'd add a little.
Material use has been a huge one for me lately. I love working through scenarios where one could alter plans to use local materials more wisely, and use materials where they are best suited (ie, avoiding the 'all season tire' approach to building).
I like the idea of regressing to a time where within your 'neighborhood', you knew of a few quality tradesmen who weren't reliant on large-scale manufacturers to produce a quality product.
Anyone else out there to add a few cents?
Cheers
Brock
