Vermont Architect – Robert Swinburne

Dan Gregory, the editor at Houseplans.com had a good blog that I pay attention to. on August 6th he put in a ditty about my Vermont Simple House 1 on sale now. There is also a way cool toilet that has a small sink at the top of the tank to that when you wash-your-hands-evey-time-you-go-to-the-bathroom ( I sound like a parent – wait a minute, I am!) the water goes directly into the flush tank.

There is also a bit about Marmoleum which is a linoleum flooring product. My mother was told recently by several flooring stores including Lowe’s in Maine that linoleum doesn’t exist anymore. (in other words they didn’t carry it). She is also complaining that her new $100 toilet doesn’t flush very well. Duh! I didn’t even know they made toilets that cheap. Is it plastic? Gross generalization alert: Mainers like cheap stuff and rarely pay for quality.
I’m off for two weeks of visiting family and riding my bike on the Cabot Trail!

I have a new website designed by Good Bear Productions here at the Cotton Mill in Brattleboro, VT
Check it out! It is very beautiful.
I have learned that I take good photographs but that way too many of my projects are as of yet un-photographed.

More on the small house argument and a better rant than I could have pulled off myself:

Plus one of the better sites that I spend a lot of time on:

I would like to thank Mark LePage for helping me learn how to spell this word.  Don’t quiz me yet though.  Mark the blogger /architect has created a new website – Entrepreneur Architect -for those of you readers who are architects trying to build your own businesses.  He seems to be doing a very good job of it so I’m paying attention to what he has to say.
