Shoe-horns and architecture
Jun. 15th, 2004 03:08 pmTook a break from the current project for a bike ride, adding meadow daisies to the flora list from Sunday. And a vulture circling around over the bog as I peddled through. At least he didn't seem particularly interested in _me_.
"Current project" is renovating the abandoned upper floors of some downtown buildings, turning them into apartments. Trick is going to be fitting in a couple of new stairways and fire corridors that come somewhere close to satisfying the current code requirements, in buildings that were built around 1880....
I think I have about 2/3 of the concept design worked out. But remember the rule -- that last ten percent of the project will eat up ninety percent of the time.
