frustration

This project is now at a point where the large scale design moves have been made, and I'm getting into the massaging of the parts.

Laying out the column grid has been giving me a hard time. It seems that there is always a problem with any solution I come up with. I have set up a series of rules throughout the project, and now I need to stick with them. I will be very happy when I can take a grid and move forward with the detailing.
