After meeting with the architect, I have been so excited I can hardly contain myself!

As you’ll recall, the architect reluctantly provided a 12-17 line item breakdown of the $220,000 estimated costs for the Garden; unfortunately, most of those line items were five-figure costs, hardly manageable (?) to potential donors. I’ve been after the architect to give us a more detailed description and even do a breakdown per region to make the ‘donation’ possibilities in smaller amounts.

Well, the architect has agreed to come up with such a breakdown by the middle of January! I also received from him a drawing of the Garden with each regional area specified. I have taken this and made a new page on our soon-to-be available web based CD that allows the user to get a bird’s eye view of the Garden while pointing out descriptions of each region and what will the estimated costs will be per section! This is definitely something you have to see to believe!

This breakthrough in the CD has given me a boost of adrenalin, almost making me want to dance in a “Bapticostal” fashion . I also pressed the architect for a more specific cost to finish the ‘uttermost walls’ and he quoted me the original $20,000 on the sheet. I then asked if he would consider allowing us to do one wall when we had $10,000, and he agreed. Good news! The IPCJ account has about half available for that first wall.
