This morning at 11 we have a soccer game, or I should say Jag has a soccer game. Then tonight is Homecoming. Both boys, being in different grades, go to different houses for pre-parties with their classmates. Lori will probably go to Ty’s and I’ll go to Jag’s. Jag’s suit is super cool. Hid designer works as a tailor part time for the 4 Seasons so that’s where I picked it up at 9 am yesterday morning. Wait until you see pictures. It looks like a suit David Bowie wore in the 70’s. It’s pants and a vest in black with a large white square pattern that Anthony custom made for Jagger. Pictures tomorrow.
Lori and I drove down to the house for a meeting with Tom (our builder) yesterday afternoon to look at the layout of some walls and things like the size of the steam shower and windows. It’s coming along and the first wall was up when we arrived. It should start going fast now and be “dried in” meaning all walled up with a roof in about a month. Our 1000 pound safe gets delivered Monday and will be lifted down into the basement and then moved around with a pallet jack. I stopped at another hardwood place up here on the way home and picked up some more samples. Our kids go to school with a younger boy whose parents own a wood company that imports all kinds of specialty woods from Austria and Germany and other places. Surprisingly they’re are some that are no more expensive than the mass produced places in Denver. Lot’s of choices. Lori needs to start thinking about plumbing fixtures next like faucets, shower heads, toilets, etc. Turns out if you count my office and the media room in the basement as bedrooms, which we can as we put bathrooms with them, we’ll end up with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, all in 3500 square feet. Our architect did a really good job of maximizing the space as it’s not all that large. It just feels and lives large even though it’s 500 square feet smaller than Tom’s house. So far it’s a lot fun even though a bit overwhelming! Our main focus is to come in under budget which if nothing else, should keep us within budget.
Monday they start putting a new roof on our townhome. There’s a bunch of supplies staged on top of our building now waiting for the workers. Ours is the last building in the complex to get done. Should be done by next Friday.
Time to get moving so we can get to the gym. Have a good weekend, God Bless.
