I once again had the opportunity to attend the Buildsense annual picnic out at Randy and Lori’s farm this weekend. It was an absolute blast! Also present was Randy’s partner Erik Van Mehlman whose new firm Studio B Architecture shares space with Buildsense. Erik recently completed a very cool Habitat house which was published in the News & Observer.

As always, Lori was a fantastic host with lots of good food & drink. It’s nice to get away from suburbia for a little while and be reminded of how people who don’t live on a cul de sac spend their time. (I’m also hoping it serves as an impetus for my wife and I to get our vegetable garden really rolling for next year.)
