We are getting close to submitting plans for the Barrel buildout for the study and library and carport. Mona (the architect) and Masoud (the engineer) came by tonight to show me the latest. Who knows how long it will take to get a permit. The goal is to show that we are not adding any net indoors space. To achieve this, we are submitting a demolition permit for the old mini Barrel -- even though its already well gone!

The main feature of the new buildout will be the "breezeway" -- which is open space (where the big "x" shows....and will ultimately have folding doors so that this space can be both indoors and outdoors depending on the weather.

The top left view is from the south, and the bottom right view is from the east. The lower levels will eventually be closed in to hide the car parking (but we can't ask for more indoor space on the permit plans).
