BEFORE THE ARCHITECT

SHOPPING LISTS – BUILDING MATERIALS

"Be assured that there are plenty more materials with which to build than you've got money with which to buy them.  It's mighty hard to stare down reality when you're designing and drafting on your own.  Beware:  those sugar plums can turn bitter when the bids start coming in.  Our society makes is so easy to mix need and want into the same pot."  Before The Architect
