Four days ago we put an ad on Architect looking to hire an intern. We're looking for a low level person to run through quality control checklists and help manage the subs now that 13 of the homes are under construction. It isn't a glamorous job but it is good experience for a college student.

Within 4 days there have been 105 responses! Most of them are completely overqualified- some are licensed architects, some have over 10 years work experience, and many have their master's degrees. It is a sad testament to how much talent is sitting on the sidelines right now and how hard the architecture industry has been hit by the recession.

Its been a few months since the last update so here's what's been going on:

+ Phase 1: The first eight homes were occupied in September.
+ Since then Phase 2 has been underway and going much much faster than Phase 1. Since it is exactly the same the blog died rather than becoming a deja vu story.
+ The last entry from before was the driveway pour. Here we are again pouring the final part of the driveway today:



(The last three homes on both sides of the driveway are new)
+ Three of the seven homes that comprise Phase 2 will be occupied next week and the remaining four not long after that.
