Michael thanks for the post. I’ll be side by side your entry, I’m sure. This sounds like a blast especially with the guaranteed exposure. Best of luck to you.

Thanks David… it sounds like fun. I’m actually planning on using a design approach I’ve used many times in online software development, iterative with user feedback in regular cycles. I’ve had a bit of luck here with it but this will be much more carefully planned. Should be fun!

Hey there Michael. Thanks for the post. Looking forward to seeing your design in the contest. Registration is heating up and going strong internationally thanks to a nice post in Italy today. Should be fun.

Thanks Bill… that’s what I’m thinking too. In fact I think I might take it a step farther and use an iterative design process using mostly reader input to find the best design. This is a really common approach in the software world and might give the design an edge and story most designers won’t be able to bring to the table. Hmmmm?

I think you should enter the contest. It might get more people interested in your ideas. I think it would make a great starter house.
