My Sketchbook, Site Diagrams + Contractor Interviews

May 28, 2019

The latest round of prototypes have arrived for the sketchbook I'm designing + manufacturing (in between working on this). In this 'day in the life' you'll get the first look at it. I'll also walk you through a site analysis for the OUTPOST project as I build it in Keynote.

My daily hike takes me up Pemetic mountain in Acadia National Park and following that you’ll see excerpts from two contractor interviews as I search for the right builder to help construct the OUTPOST project.

Special thanks to:

Ellard + Kate Taylor, Great Blue Heron Builders
