Wright Chat

So, from the iso drawings it appears that major supply ducts are formed into the concrete and spiral with the ramp. It was a great question to ask. Never occurred to me.

When I was was there the dining room lights were not.
Worth another trip back just to see them.

Wright used special anti-gravitational devices.
Drove Phillip Johnson crazy.

I recently used on my own house the TPW product that I read about being used on the Pope-Leighey restoration. It is a stain that soaks into the wood. They have a clear stain which gives no UV protection. So I used the 'Natural' colored stain which has the UV filter- the one used at Pope-Leighey and ...

Would love to see shots of those plans posted here on Wright Cha if not too much trouble.
Congratulations David on your new house.
I've been up to WahooSahoo to see it.

Wisconsin is gorgeous.
