Site Planning With Chuck Durrett: Day One

Y A W N ! ! ! It is 7:20 p.m., and I am exhausted: Chuck Durrett is one tough task master, but he sure knows his stuff. I think we all left Windsong today feeling extremely confident that we are in good hands: we look forward to being his 51st highly successful cohousing development.

We listed A L L of the activities we'd like to do outside between the buildings in our ecovillage: by all, I mean a list including clothesdrying, soccer-playing, music-making, gardening, reading, baking, eating, barbecuing, cooking, and more eating... Food seems very important to us. We worked through which activities will require special places (hot tubs, outdoor wood-fired pizza ovens) and which do not (reading, eating, napping, flying kites). I think tomorrow we figure out where all of these pieces could go and where all the new houses will go.

We are going to have some very exciting, solid, and concrete plans to share when this week of hard work is through.

More work tomorrow, including paying special attention to the retail part of our project out on Yarrow Central Road. (I'll take better pictures tomorrow.)
