The house is officially Blue Coop’s and we are working out the layout. Initially introduced as my TechShop SBU wood shop instructor, Miriam Devlin has been a great teacher, collaborator and inspiration for taking on projects and expanding my abilities. Miriam is helping to capture measurements and consult on this effort. This is just the hand sketch she texted before she commits these measurements to a digital interface.

SWI did one mean clean up on this house that had missing love for many years. Tackled the backyard too. Have to tame this vine that has merged with the house. On to next phase of the project.
