Roc's Comments:
So Findlay and Joanie are two delightful friends. Findlay is a fan and collector of old steam engines and various mechanical objects of functional beauty. I had done a renovation of a kitchen of a house he owned in an earlier life nearby and when he asked me to help work up a new home on land he owned between the beautiful Grosvenor Atterbury church and the Greenrock staging area I suggested that his new home might be mostly big barn and work area for his heavy machinery passion with a smaller, functional home attached. When the time came to begin the project I was overwhelmed with other projects and recommended the Surrey firm of Bingham and Woodward to do the project and helped during the construction supervision phase. I think it came out well and have since enjoyed many wonderful dinners in the "barn" which has become more of an art gallery than workshop.
