in other news..

in a small town past the collserola, in a grim yellow building with bars on the windows me and Joan found people who sell gabions (cages that you fill with rocks to make a wall). as expected they were quite shocked that somebody wants to build a house out of them. i’ve seen that look before. but the engineer seemed up for  a challenge and concluded that our ideas might be structurally possible, but would definitely be extremely complicated bureaucratically. oh good, i mean i want this project to take longer than humanly possible…

they also know what reed beds are (natural water purification systems) and said spanish councils are ok with them  – hooray!

obviously we haven’t talked money yet. that comes in an email later
