Atlanta .NET Regular Guys : Matt's concrete dreams

Matt's concrete dreams

The Atlanta Microsoft Professionals are working on putting together some more training material, this time we are working on ASP.NET 1,2,3! Well in our weekly meeting Dan left the country, Keith had pictures of his new house, and Matt told us his dream of building a house of concrete. A house out of concrete, are you serious? Yeah I know he is crazy and I have no idea what he is thinking with a concrete house, but hey he doesn’t question my weird problems. Either way he found a website and tried to convince Keith and me that a concrete house is the way to go. Amazing we didn't stay on track right after dinner and checked out Junk Yard willy.com. Any way we made it around to our new level 100 presentation and made some good progress. Just thought I would give you a night in the life of a busy community night.

Just so you know, the whole "concrete house" thing came from discussions of the architecture in Italy and how amazing it was to walk down a street and see buildings from 300, 500, and 2000 years ago. They built buildings from stone and concrete, buildings that last. We build them out of wooden frames and they fall down inside of 50 years. So when I looked online to see if they build stone and concrete homes in the US, I found that they're frequently cheaper, more energy efficient, and significantly more durable. THAT is what I was talking about! I'm not crazy!
