Meeting with our Designer, Jennifer

Chris and I drove to Monument on Wednesday night for a Thursday AM meeting with our designer, Jennifer Baker. 

Because Chris was flying to Utah on Friday afternoon, we both drove to the airport where he left his car in the Pikes Peak parking lot. I waited outside the lot for him (he was lucky to find a parking spot close to the entrance). From there, we drove together to Monument.

We stopped for dinner in Castlerock but anything that looked good had quite a wait. We settled on Chick-fil-A.

Jennifer texted us on Thursday morning that she was running late (she has just barely moved):

I am running about 10 minutes late, you’re going to have a whole entourage there though. Everyone is coming :-)

We really like the group we are working with through Alliance Builders. The entourage included Harlan our architect, Linsey the General Manager, Christine the Junior Project Manager, and Michael the Superintendent of our build. 

It is so exciting to see everything take shape.

Now that the house is framed, it is actually nice to get different opinions on the layout and potential issues. We spent about an hour and a half at the house and then drove to Plush Cabinets to update our cabinet selections and choose knobs and pull hardware.

After Plush, we drove out by the Springs airport to meet at Arlun and finalize flooring and tile. 

Busy day.
