Knock, knock. Who’s there? Lattice. Lattice Who? Lattice in.
Sorry, I know that’s bad but I just couldn’t resist. I’m seeing lattice and fretwork everywhere right now and I am loving the trend. What does that have to do with the bad Knock, Knock joke? Nothing really. But it reminded me of my favorite [...]

Yesterday I signed up for Auto CAD’s Revit and am really excited. Apparently, it’s going to transform my life and make designs flow from my brain onto the paper much more quickly which is good, because I change my mind all the time. I’m studying through Cad Training Online which offers one-on-one classes online [...]
