Tuesday: so many projects
Jul. 30th, 2024 11:00 pmToday, I had a few phone calls with Not Son, and got him squared away with payment for his neuropsych eval, and for his first driving lesson. Woot! I’m so proud of him. He’s not a perfect person — none of us are — and he’s in a super difficult situation, but he is persistent and I have so much respect for that.
Electric water heater is not happening in the condo; we’re instead getting a bigger water heater and a mixing valve. Hopefully, this will help with the tub filling issue. It was going to take a couple 50 amps to get a water heater that in winter might only generate 3.7 gpm. Yikes. And I would have had to have faucets replaced all over the condo to become low-flow, and I just cannot take on another project of that magnitude. I just can’t.
Contract arrived for the attic room project, and we’ve scheduled with the designer. This is such a weird hole I’ve dived into. It’ll be great, tho!
I called J. at the builder today, because I decided to try to stay out of trouble and communicate with my nieces about their bathroom. And literally within minutes, I was staring at the shower pans that were spec’d, and I realized that basically everyone on the team failed to noticed that it’s not a right hand drain on that thing; it’s a left hand. (It’s drawn as a placeholder bathtub.) *sigh* So I called J. and pointed that out to her and asked her to reconnect with V. I had asked a week-ish ago for a different pan since the nieces didn’t like Tresham’s built in seat (it does look weird).
I had a nice long convo with A. I sent her the slide link, and she said very nice things. Her grandmother had the Montage blue glass tile that I want in the 2nd floor wetroom, and that’s not a _bad_ thing — A. tried to track it down years ago, but couldn’t fine it at that point. It’s come back into style apparently. A. really couldn’t see that tub as drawn being left handed — I eventually got her to see it and to be fair, A. is getting over covid and is a bit out of it.
The slides apparently really don’t look like garbage / totally amateur hour. And they seem to be genuinely helpful to everyone who is looking at them, which is nice. Certainly, they are helping me think through how I want things to look, and helping me handle transitional spaces more gracefully. Or at least so I imagine!
