What I want to know is how you came up with this idea, Petra. I envision you with a spoon and a soft-boiled egg at the breakfast table getting incredibly creative! It's brilliant. I think Todd is right about pitching it to the Red Cross, although I doubt they would end up being the builders. They'd have to pitch it to a plexiglass company or a corporate sponsor. I also think Todd may be right about the cost of the unit vs. one building for many, especially if it's a temporary solution. I'm going to think on this some more. Verrrrrry interesting! And, I'm sending this to my 18 yr old architect-wannabe-son. See what he comes up with...
