More complaints from Neighbors

I got this email from Henry this afternoon about the neighbor behind us complaining about the project. All I can say is "ouch" and hope it doesn't get worse than this. Of course it wasn't helpful that Henry tied his tarp to the neighbors fence. We hope they will learn to love it in time.

Andy,

For your information:

We were working on the T house project this morning.

The neighbor immediately to the back of the house came over and talked with my guys about 10 minutes before I arrived.

She asked them to take off the cords tying the tarp to the fence at the rear property line.

My guy told her that I was going to be there shortly and that could she wait to speak with me.

She replied that if they didn't remove the ties that she would.

At which point my guys said "no problem" and promptly moved the ties.

During the course of them moving the ties, she took the opportunity to tell them how much she did not like the project.

After hearing this story, I went over to the house and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Is your tea house free floating? Where did you get your design? I lived in Japan for three years and don't recall seeing anything like this.

BTW, where do you get your teas? Locally or mail order?

The tea house has the illusion of being free floating, but it really isn't. There is a small center support that also contains the heating and cooling system. The design is by David Jameson.

We get our tea from China, which we visit fairly often.
