Salutations and Confirmations

Seeing Robert again is always a good feeling.  He is friendly, no nonsense, wise beyond his years, helpful, clear, accommodating.  We are never in doubt and he delivers on what he says.  Can't ask for more from anyone and great in someone who is building your house.

Hugs, handshakes and catching up done, it is down to business.

We confirm the U-shaped floating stair - it will fit and the number size and height of the treads and risers work - that's a relief!  I thought we were going to spend hours on that.

He has a new ceiling fan for us to look at - better quality for sure!  Check!

The laundry sink - looks like Little Tykes made it, but is exactly what Lisle wants - Check!

Bathrooms are more of a discussion - the glass block wall in the master bath turns into plate glass, as does the enclosure in the guest bath - mirrors on the walls over the sinks, single large wood frame - granite counter, undermount sink - lights above, very yukky in the catalogue, something like 9-95 is good, oh yes we can do those - thing that is done - Check!

Floor tile patterns are great - accent tiles for the front hall were required - so off we went to the big bodega to look at the tile graveyard - it is where the window, woodworking and metal shop are located, near Cortes - all the leftovers are in neat piles - we pick through, find one tile (sort of grey with some red and yellow) and set 12 of them aside with the lot for our floors - but not the dark tile needed - back to Robert with our find - there are more in here - let's take a look - et voila, a dark grey, the perfect accent!

Next - Wednesday on-site inspection!
