Up and ready for the crew to arrive at 7:30 this morning. After a discussion with the contractor, all problems which had been the point of contention yesterday evening with the 1st Lady were resolved in a few short minutes!! All of her worry, and me being in the so-called doo-doo-house was for nothing!!!! AHHHH, such is the institution of marriage......conflicts and controversy that really don't mean anything in the long run......right???
A quick run out into the national forest area where the cabinet maker lives and has his business.......thank God for 4WD or I would not have made the trip without going into the ditch(es). Really snowpacked in the shadows of the thick and tall pine trees out there. Anyway.....he and I discussed and drew out the vanity table for 48" rather than the original 36"....and he is going to have a bid/cost for this weekend. We also talked and discussed the mirror with a medicine cab behind it. It will be framed in the same thick molding with beveled glass.....made in a vertical rectangle. I am going to order the very contemporary lights to go over the mirror in the morning.....again in brushed nickel finish like the faucets and shower hardware. Next......the ceramic tile for the floor must be decided upon..........more controversy??? hahhaa....probably!!
Then went to the High School and had lunch with the 1st Lady to discuss my trip to the cab. builder's shop. Not tooo bad for the school lunch: chicken and noodles with homemade rolls! Talked with another faculty member who had used the same custom cab. maker.....and was extremely happy with the results.
Then to the SuperCenter for a BD card for the 1st Lady's mother; then to the post office to mail it, and then back home. Again......some more consultations with the contractor concerning light receptacles....how many, where, etc., etc. Then we discussed the extend living room floor which will be built into the television room and then take the step down into the room......a rather nifty idea which we had seen elsewhere. Then we discussed the built-in plasma and where to place it in the wall......and where to have the shelving inserts for the many "boxes" for video equipment. All of these will be recessed into the wall close to the recessed television.....so it will be a completely flat wall.
I need to pick up some good speaker wire tomorrow so it can be place behind the drywall for the surround system. Also....checked out spots for the telephone outlets in the room.
Tonight after the 1st Lady returned home from a school Academic Team competition, we took chairs into the television room and decided just where we wanted the plasma to be placed in the wall. Tomorrow I need to run to Farmington to order the custom made glass shower doors....and check out ceramic tile. Also need to quickly go down to a very small town south of here where there is an excellent granite worker who can make our counter top/bar. We also need to begin to think about lighting for the kitchen.......that time will be here quicker than we think.
Carpeting is also an issue for the television room and bedroom/walk-in closet. Have to begin to get ideas so we can make that decision.......always something!!!!!
Sooooo, with all of this in mind.....with all that was accomplished today........
Life is Great........and I hope it is for all of you, also!
