I am
convinced that government is both an unavoidable constituent to and unmistakable
enemy of small business. I can recall only 1 genuine exception to this
conviction, and that was 1500 miles from here 20 years ago and the uplifting
experience involved a man who died shortly thereafter.
What's more, the enemy's savagery - to open markets, to dreams pursued, to
capital formation, to wealth formation; to time, to prosperity, to velocity of money, to community
well-being, to expectations - varies directly with the enemy's size. That is to
say, the bigger the government tentacle around your throat, the bigger the hurt
it can put on you. Before The Architect
1) A client could not visualize the difference between her staircase’s ceiling open to the L2 ceiling and running the stairway slope
Comment: The staircase bordered a large, interior, crossing foyer; therefore, big deal. 3-dimensions can be very tough to convey, in the experience of Before The Architect, either in 2- or 3-dimension layouts.
2) Additionally, Before The Architect was having mini-fits trying to settle on the configuration of L2 in this story-and-a-half structure whereat a L2 floor area changed by a small but dramatic margin depending on exactly how the ceiling ran above the L1-L2 staircase
Comment: Staircases require close attention as to fit. Rise and run should be settled or at least closely estimated early-on in a home design enterprise.
Comment: It’s not that all homes are designer around their stairways . . . just feels that way.
Comment: There are few, greater OMG moments than finding later in a draw that stairs don’t work – drawn too short, too narrow, not atop one another, get confused about whassup up and whassdown akin to scoring for the opponents, etc. You work extra carefully to get stairs right-on early on and you’ve favored all else in the draw.
