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.

Working M-W in Salt Lake City this week. Driving to IMFT Semiconductor factory in the morning on Tuesday to audit my guys. See a sign on the highway advertising Paul McCartney in concert that night there. Go into the customer factory and mention that I would love to see the show. One of the guys that works for me whom I was taking to dinner that night, has two extra tickets he is selling to the show.
He sells them to me for $100 each ($169 face). He gets dinner and drinks from me, I fly my wife from Portland w/free SWA ticket, she arrives 5:30pm, I pick her up, we eat, go to the show (fabulous of course) and some something-something if you catch the drift. Totally unplanned and totally AWESOME!!!
