Can you write to Tamara? Otherwise, I guess you'll have to cut and paste it. Too bad!

A two-story U shaped beachhouse? (x post)
Q
Comments (24)
Hi Chris, I will definitely bring up the U with the architect, I was exploring it here first. I think it is unlikely but it does raise the idea of wind shelter - for us, the primary draw in that layout. So at least our siting of the house and layout should consider that aspect, even if we can't make a "U" that evokes the feel of that first photo. In re the glass doors, one of the tricks to this house design will be how to maximize views and yet still evoke the farmhouse look that prevails in the area. It is tempting to go with huge expanses of glass, but that will look all wrong. The windows should probably be less than 3' wide and they should probably be fairly tall. Most of the homes in the area are 2 over 2, which I like from a style viewpoint and which also is less disruptive to the view than more heavily muntined windows. Virgil, Your Monopoly analogy is apt, which is why from day one i was thinking rectangle, rectangle rectangle. And more than one rectangle in a cluster is even more the vernacular (ie, the mainhouse is the Monopoly hotel, with a guest house like a Monopoly house) . As far as simplicity, I could not agree more. We rejected one architect because I felt his homes were not pared down enough, they looked like all the new construction homes here in Fairfield County. Complex roof line, lots of variety in windows. too many doodads and frills. It takes discipline to create beauty out of very simple forms, but that is what we are looking for. Although a U sounds contrived, the photo at the top of this post is not at all contrived. It would fit, but blown up to a 2 story, it prob would not fit. We have no decisions to make in re materials. The uniformity on the island is so complete that you'd almost think it was a planned community. White cedar shake clad with red cedar shake roof. White cornerbords and window trim. My only exterior finish choice is the front door color....

Glad you ladies enjoyed them. Wasn't going to post the cookies until I got them arranged, but thought "Oh, why not?" Just dug the sign out yesterday along with a few paper Valentine's things. I really don't have many decorations for this holiday. Gram, I hope you found your hearts today. Are you finally getting hit with the cold weather? I have friends in Maryland, but haven't talked to them in a couple weeks. Their weather is probably similar to yours. Anj, sometimes the wood has sections that just soak up the paint more. I used to seal all my wood before I painted--then started getting lazy about doing that. Hope yours will turn out okay. I imagine painting eggs will be allot like painting ornaments--probably not my thing--although I do have a few wooden eggs around here somewhere. Luvs

We live on an acreage in a rural area. For the most part, I have had nothing short of excellent service getting my parcels here and on time and right on the doorstep. This is important to me as I can’t drive right now due to two hip replacements . However I’ve had a few exceptions one being a few years ago I ordered an iPad for my husband for Christmas and whoever delivered it just must’ve flown it out the window to the end of our snow covered driveway and it landed in the ditch in the snow . Luckily we got home before the snow started again and I was able to spot the package and had to slog through the already deep snow to retrieve it. Thankfully it wasn’t damaged . And as I said for the most time packages come right to the door which is great but the odd time if I haven’t made it to the door fast enough they will take the package and drop it at the post office for me to pick up This is a huge inconvenience for me because I have to get my husband to pick it up on his way home from work which also means he has to leave work early as the post office closes before he would normally get there .

Thanks for posting the link to your stories. I enjoyed those, especially the one about 6 rooms to rent.

Your stories are well written. You should be copyrighting these. I recommend that you add a copyright notice at the beginning of the stories you post on-line. Of course, it is your prerogative to do or not do.

I have thought of doing that but I haven't any idea how to go about it. Can you point me to a good reference source?

Or- can you tell me how?

Thanks.

jemdandy is right. I have all mine on Angelfire copyrighted, except for the first few, when I hadn't realized that I should do it.

Copyright Notice

All that is required is a copyright notice in a prominent location in the article. For examples, look at books. The notice should contain the word 'copyright of copyrighted', the date, and your name. A typical notice is shown below:

Copyright 10 mar 2015

The date may also have the from, March 19, 2015. The day of the month may be omitted, for example, Dec. 2014.

Some authors use a pen name when writing fiction. I suppose a pen name is permissible, but I do not know about this.

Placement:

When the article is short, say 2 pages or less, the notice may be placed at the end of the article as a footer. However, my preference is at the beginning. It is may be placed on the front-piece below the title. Example below:

My Encounter With the Tough Sausage

Copyright 20 Jan 2015
Hologan Heroic

You may, in the notice, open the article to limited use by others. In this case, the notification above might read:

Copyright 20 Jan 2015.

This material may not be copied or used without permission except for inclusions in personal genealogy data bases and reports. No part of this work (without permission) may be included in other material for sale or profit,

Holigan Heroic

You can google the term, copyright, for more information. I believe that a copyright is good for 72 years, but don't quote me. Look it up.

The first story was so well written that I could visualize everything you described. Wondeful.
