Post #1: In the Beginning...


It's Fall in New England and the digging has begun. The plans have been thoroughly combed through by Noah Grunberg from Noble Home and Jerry Boucher Jr. and Jerry Boucher Sr. We began dreaming and talking in March. The groundbreaking began the week before Labor Day.
The first plans were not approved. The local zoning board stated that there was too much glass designed into the the east wall. The codes have not yet caught up with passive solar heating logic. However, the next set of plans was approved when the name of the project was changed to a "Three Season Studio For The Mayorgas." Same amount o' glass. That's okay. Now we really have to vacation in Brazil from December to April in order to satisfy local building codes.
