A Day at the Office

Although a work day, I could just as easily have titled this post "Escape to Paradise". This is the view from a new client's master bedroom window.

The Golden Gate Bridge on one side and a hazy silhouette of San Francisco, a slight turn of the head, on the other.

Admittedly, this four storey home has a lot of stairs, but they also have an elevator. The driveway is so steep that, by the addition of a few hand holds, it could easily be turned into a climbing wall. I had to enlist a troop of helpers from the construction site to carry in my heavy stone samples. 

The design firm that brought me in to bring their fireplace inspirations to fruition, with a "before Christmas" completion deadline, uses code names for their clients, to protect their privacy. 

This Sunday post is my preamble to knuckling down and drafting scale drawings and proposals, that I've promised them by tomorrow morning.

On the feral kitty front, here's the latest feline addition to the meal ticket. He's been showing up regularly. At first, I shooed him away, as an interloper, and he'd wait to clean up after Poppy and Mango. As you can see from his plump good looks, he now gets his own plate. He's got a ginger mask and tail, which makes him some variation of a Flame Point Siamese. I'm guessing he's a boy, as I think he's got a large head, indicative of a Tom Cat. Right or wrong, he's here to stay.
