- Guy (Guy's Glass). Long story long on the remote controlled windows in the clerestory: Originally we had planned on Velux windows (high quality, very expensive) but they cannot be installed more vertical than 85 degrees. Then found Marvin "power-drive" windows (high quality, very expensive), but long story short, our builder thought (incorrectly) that we couldn't get them. So then Chris wondered if the powered windows were the same excepting the power unit (they are) so then he got to wondering if we could put Amsco Artisan windows (like what we have in the rest of the house) (less quality, less expensive) but get a powered drive system and install it ourselves. Guy found the drives for $250 a piece (we want 3). All in all this will save us thousands vs. any of the other alternatives, and our windows will all be consistent (excepting the type of glass) throughout the house.
- Gordon (Bill's Comfort Systems). Decided to go with the simpler, smaller fireplaces. Discussed options for heating/cooling -- all of which are more expensive than what we originally had budgeted -- but then we had originally budgeted for radiant heat in the basement also. Also discussed fresh air options.
- Jake. Decided to leave out the interior wall that faces entry. Everyone seems confident this is a great idea except for me. I'm adjusting. It's a small loss of privacy for a great gain in aesthetic beauty (Jen's choice of words). Fireplaces -- no hearth on the main so that TV can be mounted above mantle and not be quite as elevated. 16" hearth on basement fireplace. Squared the shower -- will try and match the glass block with the master bath window.
Tuesday, July 21st, had a long meeting with Chris where we met in turn with:
