A Senior Housing Duplex Under Construction (Part 2)

22May13

In the upcoming weeks the builder will insulate the raised pony walls and roof trusses with dense pack cellulose an R-value of about 58 at R 3.6 - 3.8 / inch.  Among many insulation types out there, dense-packed cellulose is among the most benign and healthy choices. Installing dense packed cellulose also helps with sound control and [...]

Where In The World Did I Leave My Car Keys? (Part 1)

21May13

It seems most of my friends are always looking for their keys. In my case, it’s my cell phone. Before cell phones, we always knew where our phone was—just where we left it.
Why can’t we find our keys, our car in the parking lot or our cell phone? I hear people saying it’s because I’m [...]

Happy spring. A project is rising! See in progress shots of a small, high performing, strawbale enclosed senior affordable housing duplex we’re doing in collaboration with Ward Joyce Design. The 2,250 square foot project is located in Holland, VT on a five acre site, with two affordable low-income apartments and a shared common space.  It’s slated [...]

Challenging a Neighborhood for Change

15May13

I was talking to a friend of mine about his business success.  “I never wanted to be a business person”,  he said, “I just wanted to make people’s lives better.” My friend is a Catholic priest with a large mission.
I started thinking, how do most people go into business and what is their mission or [...]

Sales and the $13.99 Deluxe Stud Finder

Mark Moyer is ready to present at Washington University, St. Louis. The Knight Center classroom setting is really ideal for a guy who has fine-tuned his skills as a coach and sales trainer at three top-flight St. Louis firms over the last three decades. He is a coach, trainer, speaker and champion of sales professionals [...]

AN ANXIETY OF INFLUENCE - WOOD FLOORS (Part 3)

13May13

Indeed! What works? Flow works. Continuity works. Harmony works. And, how is this applied to wood flooring?
Well, that means really understanding that one plane, albeit wood or otherwise, broken up can create chaos. This is because most do not understand how space flows and what works, design-wise. Most do not understand that, while area [...]

Consumer, Consumer, Where Art Thou? (Part 2)

11May13

Here are those staggering statistics.

200 million Americans have registered their phone numbers on the FTC’s “Do not call list.”
86% of people skip the television ads.
91% of email users have unsubscribed from a company email that they previously opted into. This is important for us bloggers!
44% of direct mail is never opened.

The number of smart phones [...]

Consumer, Consumer, Where Art Thou? (Part 1)

10May13

Gone are the days when you could tell the customer what to read, think or buy. The customer has his/her ideas about everything including what and where to  buy. They aren’t listening to us very much.
Case in point: many businesses are putting their newspaper ads on Facebook–you know the discount ads. When these are put on [...]

AN ANXIETY OF INFLUENCE - WOOD FLOORS (Part 2)

9May13

These days everyone wants - requests - wood flooring. Why? I’m not sure. It’s evolution (no pun intended) probably started somewhere in HGTV land. Somewhere out there in the sixth dimension, a television design specialist proclaimed - everyone has to have wood floors. And, so it is. No less the design advocate than academic, I [...]

AN ANXIETY OF INFLUENCE - WOOD FLOORS (Part 1)

8May13

There is, perhaps, no greater irony of titles in the literary/design mix than that above. I am convinced that Harold Bloom knows as much about flooring styles as those in design know about Bloom, yet the analogy is drawn. In “The Anxiety of Influence,” the notable author talks about the strong influence the poet John [...]
