Home / How far from the shape
Four distances, thirty changes
Reserve a change measured by how far it takes you from the house shape
One part changed, two or three, almost nothing of the shape left, or the shape turned inside out. The office charges nothing for distance itself, but it will tell you what each step actually costs to arrange. Reserve a change measured by how far it takes you from the house shape.
The mark used all over this site is one square and one line. The line is the house shape and it never moves. The square sits on the line when nothing has changed, and rises off it as parts of the shape are taken away. Four heights, four distances, and the words are printed beside the mark everywhere it appears.
Two parts of the shape can usually be changed together, three begins to cost more than either change is worth, and the office will say which case you are in.
