Did a consulatation with a client last night.
Vice prez of a manifacturing company for Aerospace/NASA in Tempe AZ.
Lives close to where I am working in Western canada, and wants me to do 7 custom scroll work designs on her vaulted ceilings throughout the house.
Then do a King Edward III replica ceiling medalion on the dining room ceiling.
Not a bad shack, only 4.9 Mill , 6900 sq/fl space 14ft ceilings through out the house, Vaults go to 22'.
When I told her I didn't have a big enough template for one design she wanted, she simply said, "leave it with me, i'll have our Fab shop make one with the lazer cutter"
Did I mention the private helicopter in the back yard for traveling to work?
I've seen bigger houses, I've seen more expensive.
But it's been a long time since a house made me look at it so closley, I never even saw the furniture.
Indian Rosewood colums, marble in more places than I would have thought possible, and a kitchen that would make Gorden Ramsey himself proud of.
If it's possible that house almost gave me a hard on just thinking about having the pleasure to work on it.
Client is very clear on what is wanted, (which I love makes my job that much eaiser), and VERY educated.
Not just every day I can have an intelligent conversation about The Renniscance "Masters" and 1800's Victorian interior finish with someone who actually understands that it takes more than "crown moldings" to make a "Victorian Home"
And knows the difference between "Colonial" and "Victorian" finishes.
You want a dream house ?
I walked through the ****er last night for 3 hours.
