    <p>Hi herr greenhaus.</p>
    <p>Expect a cold shoulder from 'the guys'. They've got a club happening and grun aint in it.</p>
    <p>Is all that folding wall in the plans for cross ventilation or space making? In either case, what's it made of and how is it green?</p>

    <p>Saw Corro present his Carlton number, it's got my vote. Your right about the bathroom HD.</p>
    <p>A great little project and an ugly little blighter. Got to love him.</p>
    <p>Incidentally, all your wet stuff SS goes from the tiled balcony down a drain (revolutionary I know) and a down pipe which is one of the five "columns" required by planning.</p>

    <p>b-n. I wasn't talking about where the water goes. Obviously most of it is directed down a drain, (duh! is how you guys put it isn't it)</p>
    <p>I was talking about the window joinery where the water doesn't drain, but sits trapped by the angles and levels corroding metal or rotting wood. Allegedly it looks good, but can you tell me how that problem is avoided in that project.</p>

    wots wrong hague? buuuuuurp.
    nail your hand to the wall fixing a wine rack?
    or did an apple fall on your head.

    looked at any of ya old school hardwood windows from your 90 degree - the world is a pizza - pagan universe. whats with the rot they all get at the bottom of the jambs on their horizontal sills.
    heard of surface tension? capillary action? gravity not the force at work?

    corros a genius u knobhead knowitall - he's halved the number of jambs that rot - the uphill ones gunna stay dry.
    ha ha ha.
    buuuuuuuurp.

    sooner we are taking flowers to church and kicking the hearse door shut on your generation the better.

    <p>Horizontal sills? No such thing on a properly made window. </p>
    <p>Again, you don't know what your talking about beyond cosmetic appeal.</p>
    <p>Sober up and check out window detailing from a manufacturer, or don't you Stylists bother with that sort of thing.</p>

    <p>Thanks for the clarification SS.</p>
    <p>Interestingly, Corrigan devoted a good third of his lecture to window detailing. How to draw it so your builder could understand it etc. Funny, he said, it wasn't that the builder couldn't understand. Why wouldn’t you just order something off the shelf from Stegbar? They’ve worked it all out for you… nice and square, easy to install.</p>
    <p>The theme continued during question time when a plucky student asked in earnest: “Mr. Corrigan, sir, what’s the most important thing in architecture?”</p>
    <p>Rather than his usual malarki about aspiration toward the incredible complexity of human consciousness, the manifold manifestation of culture, the depth and riches of history, the ineffable inexhaustible reaches of the imagination, the most important social/cultural document etc etc or bemoaning the utter inhumanity of modernism or even an obscure quote from some 18th Century Spanish artist; after a characteristic pregnant pause, he simply said “window detailing.”</p>
    <p>Don't think the poor student got it.</p>

    <p>DISQUALIFICATION</p>
    <p>Sorry Info, the building you suggested for #8 on page 3 has been disqualified as illegal works.</p>
    <p>Turns out it never received a building permit, "Inadequate disposal of rainwater run off."</p>

    hague - have u ever stopped to think why the old sandstone university kicked you, your solitary chrome ball and your nailbag out of town and over the edge of the world.
    they figured all your good for is digging holes to china.
    burrrppppppp.

    stop pretending u r an office man and just enjoy letting the sand run between your big old toes.

    definition.

    stylus
    the word stylus along with the word style came from the latin word stilus meaning - a stake, a pointed instrument, used by the Romans, for writing upon wax tablets, which derives from the Greek word meaning column or pillar. According to the 1875 London dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities a Stilus is an an object tapering like an architectural column, a metal instrument resembling a pencil in size and shape used for writing or recording impressions upon waxed tablets.

    @b_n fair enough re #8 maybe the fly curtain is bit over cooked as well - just too fat.

    @HD - sweet music hall. Makes the ARM efforts in Mel/Perth look extra earnest.

    Merry CHristmas all - back to the bar
