From the CoolSky Buildings iterations document (Ch. 1: Baer House):

  1. Current condition and ownership — Is the house occupied and operating today? Does the DrumWall still work as described?
  2. Winter heating measurements — Are there any logged winter temperatures or fuel-use records?
  3. Zome construction dates — Sources give 1971, 1971–1972, and 1972. Which zomes went up in which year?
  4. South-glazing photo identity — Does the south-glazing photo show the house or an outbuilding?
  5. Photographer — Who took the gallery photos?
  6. DrumWall bill of materials — Is there a drawing set or take-off for the drum frames, shutters, and glazing?

Next action: questions 1–3 are best directed to Jose Baer or Karen Terry; questions 4–6 may be answerable from the archive or Bruce Davis.
