Working with the next generation of designers.

This is Adrian, short for Hadrian. You know, the guy that did the wall. We decided it was a good afternoon to study the design philosophy of Stonehenge, but we did it in wood. Yeah he is my grandson and I would rather he was an architect than an accountant.

A Druid. OK, yes I know the builders of Stonehenge predated the Druids. However due to a family disposition for mandibular tori we may be descended from Picts.

It's Woodhengethen.

Great shot
(and indeed a better "project" than letting him sit in front of the TV all day)

So true. Unfortunately my grandson seems to be an aspiring demolition contractor

Gaius, I would have used "woodhenge", but one already exits near stonehenge. They (?) think stonehenge was for the dead and woodhenge hosted ceremonies for the living.

Frenchy that is cool. I may try that, I have always told my wife our house would look slightly better about one foot farther west. When I was in Vietnam I did something similar. Our major on inspection tour told me to get our water trailer off the ground or the tires would rot in the sun and also become misshapened. After thinking for a while I had my troopsset two railroad ties vertically in the ground. Next we made a ramp of sand bags leading up to these posts. Then, with rope, trailer we towed the water until the axle was above the post. Next we cut the sand bags so the trailer settled onto the posts. Finally we cleaned the sand out so that on next inspection there would be no evidence of our method.

AR-CAD, I have to admit that there was some block throwing and the little guy kept insisting we were building "Robots" if I could understand what he was saying. His mom is a freakin genious if I do say so myself. She just got her third degree which was a Masters in educational technology and distance learning. Adrian is her personal lab project.
