History of Styles Notebook presentation

This is again about reading carefully. In the Instructions for completing the notebooks I found that the History of Styles Notebook can be presented in digital version on CD or memory stick to save printing. These days I would think it might also be online presentation. This is awesome! That is why I love KLC – they keep improving all their materials, the web site, and the ways to do the projects too. I will definitely go digital, I hate wasting paper. If you doing the course as I do – one set per year (I know, every time I promise myself to do the next one earlier), do not forget to keep your eye on the latest materials.

By the way, I know my mark for the 5th set, it is A-, but I did not get it back yet, I will have it by the end of this week and publish it here with tutor’s comments as soon as I can.

Samples from trade show, distributors or retailers, this section will also be demonstrating how the materials are being used. Construction of staircases, looking in-depth into technical guides, detailing, integration with other materials and building regulation issues.”

I would not reproduce history of this place here, it is possible to found from other sources, I just want to say that personal presence in the period house is much better then pictures. What is not really a new idea…
