That for cocktails

Or more likely like this for dinner.  Unfortunately, Mrs. Harold isn't with us anymore.

Regarding reply #3

May I ask what the framed invitation/announcement is in the black themed bathroom (pictured in reply #3)?

also do you have any pictures of "The shower and bath in the next room is now done in white glass tile with a black inset."?

First Off

A picture of the guest bath glass shower tile.  Has a slight green tint due to the glass.

Next - The Framed Invitation

This was an invitation from the Clintons my partner Ed and I received to an "A" event at the White House.  "In Performance At The White House - Women Of Country"  I have not historically been a fan of country music, but after this event, I totally am.  Suzy Boguss, Alison Krauss, Chet Atkins and Kathy Mattea.  Invited to the White House with a performance on the West Lawn.  A totally unforgettable experience.

Close Up

Of the main invitation.

Of Course

It had nothing to do with me.  It was all about Ed.  He was appointed to Clinton's Presidential Advisory Council on AIDS and HIV.  Pretty amazing.  He said if I didn't go, I would regret it forever.  He was right, so glad I went.

Well

The construction is done and I couldn't be more pleased.   Jerry did a great job and sent me this note with the final bill.  He didn't know the total extent of the job when he bid it and could have charged me many extras.  He was very reasonable.  I'll leave out the final bill but include the content of his note.  I couldn't be more pleased with the job and the price.


 


<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span><span style="font-size: small;">Hey Fred,

Hope the carpet went well and your back to moved in now. The mirror is ordered and will be ready Friday morning so I will pick it up and have it in by the end of the day Friday.
I went through everything as far as costs are concerned and have the extras all figured out.
I'm so very happy with the new look and I'm really glad you like it. Working for you has been one of the most pleasurable jobs I have had in my career, it has truly been my pleasure. Thank you so much for the referral to Deborah. This is how my business survives
and I'm very appreciative.
As always, if you have a question ,just ask
Thanks!

You Should Get....

Mrs. Harold back to come in and close those draperies every morning! You don't want the sunlight coming in and fading things.

A really great remodel. Things look wonderful.

I admit I haven't been following this thread, but I have just looked through it all now and would like to congratulate you on the fantastic job you've done.  It looks truly sensational.

Thought You Would Enjoy

<div>Jerry's final note with the final bill.  I redacted the amounts.  I just sent him a note about some minor leaking under the shower door.  I am sure he will get it fixed.  Otherwise, I am thoroughly enjoying the remodel.</div>

All's Well....

....That ends well!

I'm glad that you and Jerry were able to work well together to reach a successful conclusion. I've seen many a situation where things went wrong, and it is NOT pretty.

It looks like a wonderful house again.
