After 3 days of intermittent baking and decorating...it is complete! Well, it may be complete. I haven't completely decided to make it snowy or not. If I do add snow, it will just be a dusting of powdered sugar but not sure how to keep it in place. This house (which I think Rainbow Brite would love to live in) will be delivered Sunday at the East Tennessee Children's Hospital Fantasy of Trees event. This is my first attempt at a from scratch gingerbread house. I love watching the documentaries about gingerbread house competitions and think the people doing the best ones must be a little neurotic. I am not quite as neurotic and so my house isn't perfect. I do think I did a passable job for my first time. I really like that it was fun, creative and helps ETCH by being auctioned off. I hope it goes for a good price.

Shaping young minds?
It has been fun to try to explain scale and lingo like "plan view" and "elevations" to them. I have been impressed with how fast they have picked up on it and what they are able to accomplish. One kid brought in legos to build a model of his design. It did degrade to the building of cars by the time class was half way through today but he was back on track after snack.

I forgot to wax the mustache before the meeting!
I explained that I have a screen saver that has old timey portraits that come on and the mustache matches up with the portraits. ...really...
I mentioned that I was quirky but I don't have that necessarily come across in my architecture...unless the client wants quirky, then I am all over it. If nothing else maybe it will set me apart from countless other firms...like over in the corner to play by myself.

What this blog is about
This blog is to track the start up of Perspective Architecture as well as other random bits and pieces of information along the way. I am sure there will be lessons to pass along, good and bad. There will also be useful information gathered from other sources (credited of course) and posted here concerning architecture and the construction industry.
This blog will officially start when Perspective Architecture officially starts. Hopefully it will be informative as well as entertaining. Only time will tell.
