This morning I went to visit a site where two bathroom renovations
is called for.
The house is of a Mediterranean
concept. It was built twelve years ago
but if you should see it now, it is very well maintained. The existing interior design of these bathrooms as I put it into the client’s words has 'just got tiring to look at.' I couldn't agree more.
Two things I learned from today’s meeting.
1. Set up a meeting with a group of
different contractors.
The
chipping and removing of the existing tiles and fixtures began two weeks
ago. So a meeting at site was called for
the other subcontractors. They are the waterproofing
subcon and the tile setter subcon. These
contractors work hand in hand to achieve a waterproof – clean installed
bathroom tiles. Having them met
together, not one-by-one on site, made it easier to come to an agreement at the
end of the meeting. Everybody had their
opinions to make things work efficiently according to the time, material and
labor schedule. It was near perfect in
terms of a successful meeting. Saves
time and everything for everyone – the client, the designer and the contractor.
2. The clouds.
I know you
are wondering what the clouds are for.
On our way to visit the next construction site, I noticed the white and
fluffy clouds floating into the really sky blue sky. It was a splendor to look at compared
to the tall buildings of the metro. For
some moments there, it was a relaxing transition from one busy construction
site to another. Lovely indeed! I just have to tell. (Which reminds me of an old blog post I wrote years ago. Read here.)
That’s the story of the whimsical blog post title of mine.
A simple view of the natural design of this world gives inspiration
often times.
I hope the beauty of nature
makes us aware that this very cosmic world had been created and designed by the
ULTIMATE DESIGNER – not just for beauty
and function, but most of all with a definite purpose!
