After our last programming and schematic design session, I came back to Dallas with an armload of diagrams that everyone at the table was a party to making. It was an extremely productive design session, far better than if I had simply asked questions and taken notes.

The weather here in Dallas was exceptionally nice this last weekend and I took the opportunity to drive around town checking in on a handful of projects we have under construction that don’t normally receive (for one reason or another) much screen time here on the site.

I had no idea that I was going to be mentioned in this article. At first, I wasn’t particularly happy about the way I thought it made me come across.

I looked ahead at what the weather might be like - Not too bad, a little chilly but certainly not anything I haven’t been dealing with this winter here in Texas (yes, it does in fact get cold here in Dallas). If it’s damp and in the upper 30′s/ lower 40′s that will make being outdoors a little less awesome.

I have had a metal roof on every single on of my playhouses – I think it makes these little buildings appear much more significant as a finished product. I used an integrally colored siding for this year’s playhouse so the plan was to get everything built and painted prior to installing the siding. Pretty slick, right?

I’m sure the contractor loves it because it means one massive step closer to making the building weather tight – but I love it because the house actually starts to look like the end product. This is what an unfinished level 5 wall looks like … there is no paint on this wall whatsoever. No paint on these walls either.
