Air Conditioning, Electricity, Plumbing, Rocks, Audio, Lights


Decisions a mile a minute- and hoping I don't decide something fast and wrong and hard to correct. Walking around the house with the electrician was particularly concerning, as I learned what a Raab light was one minute and then was saying to put them here and there the next. I have had to be a bit like Marilyn Monroe and depend on the kindness of strangers...

Mike has a rock guy that has his own rock supplier near Weatherford. He comes highly recommended with skills in dry stack style. I did ask for addresses where I might get a view of some of his work, as it will be one of the most impacting visual features of the home.

Having to shore up the feature window in order to get it guaranteed. It will now have a 4 x 4 steel post in the corner and metal inserts abutting it. I am fine with that.

Tim Jones has most of the air conditioning duct work up, and the unit over the master bed room in place. It is a very tight fit. We had to do some creative trouble shooting to get air to the full house with the least noticeable "duck's feet", as I say.

I meet with the lighting person (Angie) and the surround sound man (Frank) tomorrow. Lighting will be fun. Surround sound, though I will certainly appreciate it, I would rather pass on, if I only could.
