Every so often we get a project where the seemingly constant design changes don't end until the building is occupied and the builder has packed up and left the site.
This one was inspired by my partner Scott Jones who sent me a photo of a project where the contractor thought the delta cloud on the drawings meant to cut a cloud-shaped hole through the floor slab.
Inspiration came when our oldest son and his wife came over to play the ultrasound video of what would be our fifth grandchild. It's a boy! ...and maybe he'll follow in the footsteps of his grandpa.
