I wanted to bring this opportunity to your attention, as my appliance supplier (Known both as Hahn Appliances *and* Metro Appliances & More...same company) is having a 10% clearance on 11/14. This could be a good opportunity to grab a nice refrigerator, washer & dryer, or anything else you have on your wish list for the new pad.

If you don't take advantage of this sale, remember I can always get you my wholesale pricing on those items at any other time, which would include delivery and installation. Feel free to hit me up with any model numbers of items you'd like quotes on.

Also, I wanted to let you know in advance that I will be out for the week of the 18th-22nd for an overdue family getaway. I always leave with appropriate project progress scheduled to take place where possible, and I do have assistance in getting eyes on the jobs on site. I can also check-in via my remote site cameras to monitor progress. Note that I do build in cushion into construction schedules to allow a margin for things like this, weather, and holidays. Nonetheless, I wanted to make you aware of it in case you reached out to me and didn't hear back in my usual response window.

Have a great weekend!

We're at the point when it's time to start thinking in greater detail about your new home! Design Session 1 is upon us, which involves exterior finish selections, electrical and tech layout, flooring diagram, and more preliminary design decisions. Don't sweat these decisions! I'm here to guide you through making fantastic choices.

Design sessions need to be scheduled during business hours, as often we need to walk a few doors down to look at materials from suppliers, or make phone calls to check on availability that other decisions depend on. DS1 can often be fully completed over a lunch hour meeting if that helps fit into your schedule better (it usually takes 1-2 hours, max).

What are some days and times in the next 2 weeks that you have available? I'm looking forward to our next time together!

Good news! The revised set of plans have been returned by the CAD Draftsman. I have personally cross-checked the new set of plans with our notes from the Plan Review Meeting Check-List, and all of our discussed modifications have been made to satisfaction.

This means that the plans are now considered "official", and final. These plans are now passed on for foundation engineering, lumber/structural engineering, and window ordering.

Lots of site progress to follow!

The application for permit, along with printed plans, have been submitted to the governing municipality for review. This usually takes between a few days to a week. Once approved, we are ready for construction on site! While the review is taking place, I am getting your project "in the queue" with my contractors and suppliers to ensure that everything is in order once the permit has been approved.

Stand by for some fun visual progress on site in the coming days!
