Welcome to my MGD blogger site.
As you can see I have a range of project interest from
architecture to graphics.

The last few weeks have been pretty hectic.
Portishead Pool is gearing up for this season's re-opening
and there it's lots to do. I have been preparing a pool history
booklet and detailing changes at the pool.
Sustainable energy options for the future are under investigation.
The main problem is evapourative heat loss on windy days.

My house projects are all doing well. One is on site and we are
up to wall plate height. The stonework on the front elevation is
looking good and groundfloor screed is down. My Cornwall houses
have done well at building regs with a B energy efficiency rating and
no major problems to overcome. Other sites in Bristol and Cornwall
are progressing.

I have some solar shadow plotting to do and plans are developing
for some decent size gigs with all the normal stage production etc.

My book projects are taking shape and I am looking at how to get
them published electronically through Kindle.

For those that like architectural archaeology, my links at the top of
the page will take you to current resumes for Avebury and other
ancient sites I am investigating.

Best wishes..
