Photo: Charles BadlandWhen I first started this blog, life seemed much simpler. I was writing about banyan trees and fire ants and not yet hit with the harsh realities of building of house. From Cabinet Magazine, I came across an old friend of the fire ants, Walter Tschinkel, the Florida State University entomology professor that I first wrote about here. At the time, the interest was in how to beware of these powerful and painful fire ants. I had since fallen prey to them at least 3 times but it hasn't been in a long time and I now have an internal sensory mechanism built up to avoid them. Sculptures done by Tschinkel using orthodontic plaster display what all the fuss is above ground. I am not a big fan of these creatures but you can't ignore enlightened workmanship.

Dear Mrs. Gottfried,
Although the web site is overdue for updating I think you will find this web site interesting www.wfrankprice.com. The site owners had a green modern house built in Punta Gorda recently and I had the pleasure of helping them through. There are a number of pics. If their site is unavailable you could try mine at www.greencastleinc.com. It is the modern two story house. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Shawn Harvey
Thanks for the comment. I looked at the site and yours as well. It's great to have another project so close to follow online and another resource in your site.
