This afternoon I visited Alberto Jauregui’s Iron Works with my client with orange painted toenails. She is shopping for an elegant steel railing.

Matt made some progress on the little buildings while I was gone. He chose a warm brown integral color stucco and a red standing seam roof. You can’t see it very well in this photo, but the door to the right is an old salvaged door with a window and some nice details.
Looking good!

My friend Matt is making progress on his little buildings! Here are a couple of older posts about the project:
It will be very nice to have the garden and patio between the main house and the small buildings with good southern exposure. (See site plan below)
Third Place at the Bodega Bay Fish Fest Wooden Boat Challenge
Posted in Design Projects, tagged painted plywood, patterns, plywood, wood, wooden boats on May 1, 2012| Leave a Comment »
We had a great time at the Wooden Boat Challenge. The Bar-Ba-Loot was the prettiest boat and the fastest boat, at least in a straight line.
18 teams had 3 hours to build their boat out of two sheets of 3/8 plywood, some 1×2 and 2×2 sticks, screws, three tubes of caulk, and some plastic sheet and rope.
I only saw one sailboat this year (using the plastic sheet and rope) It got to the mark very quickly on a beam reach, but broke its rig during the gybe around the mark.
Team deedsdesign built the kayak pictured below.

This series of photos shows the start of the championship race. Our downfall was being a bit slow out of the gate and running into a traffic jam just past the end of the dock.
