Survived the snow and ice

Looks like the winter is past. The frozen wet stuff at least (I hope!). A few years ago, a freak storm deposited 6 inches of snow in my front yard in early March, don't expect that again for many more years. Work is continuing with the house construction, changes and modifications rule the day. As in most remodel / additions to existing structures, the unforeseen challenges provide opportunities for creative solutions. Its one of my favorite parts of design, thinking on my feet with pencil in hand and client in tow. On every Elite Concepts project, change is inevitable. Just this week I had to rotate an upstairs bathroom 90 degrees due to a vaulted ceiling on the first floor. It projected up higher than estimated, but again, the solution added a unique element along one bathroom wall combined with the rotation... happy client! The swimming pool portion of the project is still in a holding pattern until we complete the brick exterior of the addition. The house is in close proximity to the pool and depositing daily debris into the vessel means its best to plaster later. The framing is almost complete, roofing is underway as is plumbing, electrical and hvac rough's. We are expecting windows soon and shortly after brick will begin going up. The client and I are continuing our daily assault with changes on the subcontractors, we are happy with our new realizations and the sub's, well, they just grit their teeth and keep smiling.
