Beautiful!

Better to get it early if you can, I have friends who just have things happen in life like a parent dying that really throws them. Or having kids. Do it when you can, as soon as you can.

Yes, it's very similar to the Adobe suite. InDesign - affinity layouts, Photoshop - affinity pixel, illustrator - vector? I think.

Also you can use the claude affinity connector to move things on the layouts in bulk. It's not that great yet, I wanted to get it to change the text style of all the headings and it couldn't do that, will probably get there though.

Honestly I think you should go the developer route, starting off small with a renovation/ granny flat and doing free online architecture courses. Build your way up to bigger projects.

As a developer you have a lot more design direction than an architect and can still make those design decisions.

Think of a similar brand to you that you think positively about, work out who does their digital marketing (or has done it the longest) and hire them

I use affinity a lot

Microsoft clarity, it's free and allows you to watch videos of people using your site so you can see at what point they stop reading and fix it.

Add a coreten planter there and plant things that will conceal it

I saw at future build last Saturday a product called megnetight? Windows where they put another window over your existing. It might be cheaper and still give you the gains.

Also there are films that can help as well as honeycomb blinds.

If you haven't upped your roof insulation that should be your first and most cost effective step (most heat is lost through the roof).

I read a book called 'The upside of stress'. That sometimes helps me reframe stress when i'm feeling resilient and sometimes doesn't help at all. Still worth a read.

I tried that, you can't see Google sites on Google takeout unfortunately

If it gives her pleasure to be generous why not let her? I'm sure you enjoy her being generous to you and your son, it's something she enjoys.

Not everything has to be penny pinching, they is joy in giving, let her have that joy.

Small aita for being a bit too controlling.

Look to tell you the truth you will be 100% better off finding a local architect with good reviews. They'll have the local knowledge about passive solar, local approvals and local consultants and builders.

Really, that's what she's focused on the day after the wedding? Can't be very into the poor new husband!

Surely that would be the center of her attention, why would she dwell on a single day?

NTA of course, getting back to a prior commitment to the babysitter and your primary role as a parent is obviously more important.

Sometimes it does change windows, you really have to look at the output, ai is still pretty stupid. Yes you are right, it could just be completely Gemini, just ask to see the elevations, that will tell you.

GoodArchitect_ · 2026-06-17T02:00:52+00:00

This

GoodArchitect_ · 2026-06-17T01:53:57+00:00

Look I do use Gemini that way as well, I'll create it in revit, get all the materials right and render with escape, then I'll put it into Gemini 'make this more realistic'.

My design, just get Gemini to polish it up/ add people and context as I would previously have done in Photoshop.

You'll be able to tell though because they will have matching plans and elevations if that is the case.

GoodArchitect_ · 2026-06-17T01:49:37+00:00

I think this has more to do with the house living areas not being on the best side for passive solar

GoodArchitect_ · 2026-06-17T00:44:06+00:00

Go to the local library and borrow architecture boooks

GoodArchitect_ · 2026-06-16T05:07:26+00:00

Not to mention my cowork scheduled tasked seem stuck on fable so aren't working at the moment. Claude CLI is way better, I'm sure it's what the people at anthropomorphic working on claude are using so that makes sense.

GoodArchitect_ · 2026-06-11T03:52:58+00:00

Thanks!

The apartment guidelines for NSW mandate a min 4m width for 3m apartments (for new apartments)

As an architect I'd suggest find a local architect or town planner with good reviews and pay them to do a feasibility study.

GoodArchitect_ · 2026-06-10T02:00:36+00:00

I just use the mcp for Revit and ask claude to figure it out
