First, refer to the post I did, earlier this morning, about the B&B project (“Ocasocerro”) that a former Tampa Bay Area architect (Chuck Knight) designed and built in Costa Rica. Second, ELIGIBILITY: Only one entry per person! And, only “reprographers” are eligible to enter this contest. (Okay, I will allow “financial analysts” who follow and…

Very interesting “human interest” story in the St Petersburg (FL) Times, Sunday April 18th. This story is about an Architect (Chuck Knight), formerly with LDDI Architects (Lyman Davidson Dooley Inc) – LDDI’s Tampa office – who, with his wife (Debbie Knight), decided to quit the rat race and build a Bed & Breakfast and home…

Here’s a link to the bid document the University’s Purchasing Department released: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B81al4kFAU9JMjQyNTU4ZjYtMGU1NC00NGE3LWFkZDUtNjE1NDllMTA4Y2Mx&hl=en&authkey=CMaPq-4C I’ve pulled the “blue” table from the bid document.

I’ve copied into this post “links” to reviews posted by employees who work for (or, maybe, who used…

In the…
