I think your blog looks great. I like the clean, simple design. I also like your unique profile–so UNstuffy! My only suggestion would be to move your email and rss feeds up higher–you will probably get more subscribers. Well done!

VisualCV is still in beta and needs a little work, but overall I think it has potential and can be a beneficial tool for designers.

I’m a designer who focuses on residential work and I’ve found AutoSketch to be very easy to learn and use. It’s a simplified version of Autocad basically, made by AutoDesk.

Dynascape is also a very popular program. It includes an estimating module and also a color module. I know many designers who use Dynascape and really like it.

The paver was from Marion Tile I believe. I think that’s the name of the company anyway. It was a 3/4″ modular paver so we had 3/8″ mortar joints.

Here are a couple of pictures of the construction. I don’t have any photos yet with the brick.

I completed a university project earlier this year and we used pervious concrete.

The paving was a grid of approx. 10’x10′ concrete panels separated by 16″ bands of clay pavers (deep red, smooth finish). The contrast in color and texture between the two materials looked really nice.

I don’t have any pictures right now…sorry.
