Site Inspection

Met at the house yesterday to go over details and ensure all was right - our point out the issues.

Kitchen - plug for the wine fridge missing and all the above counter electrical outlets are too low - need to move up by 3" - stove outlet is in the wrong place by about 24"

Laundry room is good, but no dryer vent

Guest bedroom - the air conditioning outlet is too low by about 12"

Master bedroom - the air condition outlet is too low by about 12" and the windows beside the bed are too wide (cant fit a king bed between them)

The stove, laundry and bedroom issues we identified in October - sloppy! - all the changes are marked on the walls - hopefully we will see them underway before we leave.

The major amount of time was spent discussing the bathrooms and the floors.

Guest bath was to have a tub, which we quickly reconsidered and changed to a shower - as for the enclosure, when we started all this the only options were very traditional North American aluminum and glass or glass block - now, they have done some stunning plate glass enclosures - YAY! - works perfectly - discussed placement of the wall tile and listello (wall with the vanity/shower and shower/toilet - with listello placement at the height of the top of the window) - shower floor - same as floor tile but cut in quarter and placed on the diagonal - DONE

Master bath was to have glass block, which was quickly changed to the plate glass - same general configuration for wall tile, listello and shower floor - DONE

The floor tile patterns on the Terraces were easily organized starting from the doorways, but the main floor is more complicated as it extends out to the front, and starts in the foyer with a medalion - after much discussion it was decided to have them lay tiles out and discuss the matter on site Thursday afternoon.

They were all taking notes, I hope they were getting all the details!
