Anther part of the code says no exposed cement block. There again, I don't know if painting it is enough or if it has to be stuccoed or sided, but I definitely think it's to make an aesthetic standard.
I've spent a fair amount of time out there and I think it would be weird to have the house face due south. Being perpendicular to the road gives me a grounding sense of where I am. But I don't like being forced to be perpendicular to the road. If I could get them to change the road, all would be great.
I'd like to get in on a place like Freiburg. That's pretty cool.
AC Hacker, I garden a bit and pay attention to wild plants and always enjoy how they do. I especially like how plants will make unusual turns to get to a sunny spot. It's weird to think I took this picture 10 years ago and just a couple days ago I was checking out the way a different tree and some bamboo in a completely different place(downtown Atlanta) were growing in odd ways to get some sun. I didn't realize I've had that fascination for so long.
