Thing Twelve: Rolling my Own


I always seem to be a week behind in these learning activities, but they're always interesting when I get to them. I had never heard of Rollyo until this exercise, but I can see that I'll be making frequent use of the Free Photos search roll to find images for this blog. I created a search roll comprised of web sites and blogs on the subject of modern prefabricated houses, because I'm trying to stay informed about new designs and projects in this area. My Modern Prefab Homes makes it easier to search for what's new in the development of designer houses that can be built without the enormous cost of a custom one-of-a-kind dwelling. I have this dream that one day I will be able to purchase and construct a well-designed, modern house on some farm property my wife and her siblings own. My daughter-in-law, who is an architect, wants to expand my dream house idea and make it a demonstration project for sustainable energy possibilities. She is talking about wind and solar power generation projects to make the house totally energy-independent. Now if we could just get my electrical engineer nephew into this project, we could make this idea fly. Stay tuned...
