Still waiting................

What to do while waiting for permits?  Attend a design show to get interesting ideas!!  First stop was to a design studio that was selling off seasonal items; doesn't everyone need a wash basin?

Now off to the Design show!!  -- looking at tiles, and interesting sets.

The images below are a total dream kitchen!!  Besides my lovely niece, in the pictures demonstrating the pull out extra counter space in the wall unit, there are several other details in this kitchen design that are awesome.  Note: The interesting space created by the corner table top that becomes an extended  sitting space for guests.  Also take notice of the inset behind the sink area for drying dishes, storing knives, spoons etc.

Not to be missed.  Here are some things I just loved -- like the great tree trunk double table top when spun out for extention.................

P.S.  -- if the images are too small for you go to the IMAGES section of the site for a bigger perspective!!

Yes, still waiting.........

Another week goes by and it's still a waiting game for permit approval.  We're almost 2 years since purchasing the property and in the last year the Architect and Contractor are on side as the team works towards the "green" light to start developing.  What an experience so far. It's like a roller coaster just to get to the starting line, or maybe it's like training for a marathon.  Each day we get closer to the race.  During the rest days you think about chickens, or gardens and today it's light.  

The visuals shared are of reflections in space; happily sharing the waiting game.

Still focusing on the Bawk........

The process of getting City approval for a building project takes time...............   While waiting, and waiting and waiting I've decided to focus on chickens, as you may have noticed in last weeks post.  I Checked out youtube to see  what is involved in having, maintaining, and lovingly egg production. I  found viewing time ranges from 8 - 30 minutes ++.  Enjoy researching the complexities involved when you have 8 - 30 +++ minutes for yourself.  The video I selected to share is, in my opinion, a perfect balance of chicken coop and city bureaucracy of waiting ......... :)

Bawk, bawk, to ........bawwwwk or not to bawk

Well,  as plans unroll and unravel questions come to mind like  "is this all madness?" , or  "am I the only one who see's why the building process results in unaffordable housing?"...........................after taking a deep breath more questions come to mind like,   "maybe I should have chickens!!".  The question then becomes,  "to have chickens or not to have chickens?"  This is the direction I'd like to focus on.  

It's a  pleasurable thought, don't you  think, to  wake up and have  fresh eggs everyday?   So, this is going to require some chicken research.  At this point, all I know  is that the idea of fresh eggs would be great; and wouldn't it be a great children's play area?
