I'm not sure what that means Alex, the OP was talking about her courses and I was just saying that I have the footprint for a roundhouse if anyone wants to run a course here. There aren't any plans to run one at the mo, I don't have any experience with them but I'd love someone to come and build me one!

we've got our own going atm (well, two friends and the loony clan -us- throwing mud at the wall and hoping it'll stick).
Give me a couple of years and I may have a project for a course too (or 2, or 3). But better get to architecture school first!
