selfie at the jobsite
I can’t even begin to explain how exciting this process of
building our house has been! There is an incredible vibe at the jobsite. The crew is energetic, enthusiastic about the
job, fully engaged in the process of both construction and creativity, and
seriously hard at work! Every single time that I stop by the jobsite, whether
just to swing by and check it out, or if we have our weekly meeting, that vibe
is present in full force.
Our weekly meetings with George Fullerton, our contractor,
have been so productive. We have reviewed the window orders, the Nanawall
order, electrical outlets, lighting locations, exhaust vent locations, sink locations, hvac
equipment location and access, and on and on…
It feels like this job is running incredibly smoothly...completely in sync. All the jobs that I have worked on with Artisan
Builders seem to run smoothly, but this one even more so. It could be because I
have literally obsessed over the details, knowing full well that if there is
something that strays from the vision I have of this house…it could literally
make me cuckoo for a very long time! No…I
don’t have an obsessive personality or perfectionist disorder at all!!! Ha!
During this last month, windows and skylights have been
ordered…so the countdown is on! I have been crazily selecting and purchasing
all sorts of things for the house! It’s been a whirlwind! Here is the multitude of things that I’ve
been working on:
Tile for all the bathrooms....Checkmark!
Stone for the exterior wall at entry and the wall at the
master bedroom... Check!
Sinks for bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry....Check!
Ethanol fireplace boxes for the master bedroom /bathroom
fireplace.....Check!
Ceiling fans....Almost Check! I just need to finalize with my Lumens.com rep, Katie.

Lighting (pendants and sconces and cable lighting).....Almost Check! More for my Lumens rep.
Appliances......Almost Check! I need to finalize the order with Jon Brown, my knowledgeable rep from Pirch which is all about great products and even better customer service. Not to mention the delicious iced Jalapeno cilantro lemonade they serve!
Doorbell..... Check!
Doorbell..... Check!
Plumbing fixtures....Almost Check! Again, need to finalize with Jon at Pirch. The Tour de force item on our order is the breathtaking BIG free-standing bathtub. It will be like sinking into heaven! From the brochure, here is a sneak peek....
Jeff and I have
worked so well together on all of this.
I typically do the initial research and narrow down selections, and Jeff
has been involved with finalizing all the decisions with me.
And thankfully Jeff is handling the research and selections
on sound systems, televisions, alarm systems, and water filtration. Teamwork at
its best! Over the years, I have seen this architecture and construction process
drive a wedge between couples…and other times it’s a bonding experience. I’m delighted and relieved at how fun this
has really been, and that as Jeff and I work together to see our dream home come to life...we are completely...in sync.
Love the tub!! Sho exciting woman!!
